So the hen run is taking a little longer than expected but thats only because the car needed MOT'd and we decided to focus a full day yesterday on my new Etsy shop, taking pictures etc. I'm really excited to be getting that up and running, a creative outlet for me and everything I earn from it can go straight into our mortgage fund, every extra helps! Also it suits my personality to have a few wee ventures on the go :)
Anyway back to the hens! Heres what it looked like on friday after a few evening hours at it...

| House starting to take shape - roof is going to be very steep so there is room to perch on the high side and nesting boxes on the low side. All very sturdy - should last years and years :) |
Then today Al has been working away by himself (I'm working on the computer outside 'supervising' lol as if he needs it) He's attaching the wire and doing a beautiful job - look how tight and neat it is! It's starting to look like a real chicken run now SO EXCITING!!!!!
Just been nosey at your Etsy shop- the earrings are beautiful- I'm now struggling with myself. I'm supposed to be not shopping but I am a wee bit in love with a pair. Lets see if I can hold out lol
ReplyDeleteHaha I'm struggling too now because usually I encourage frugality but I can't wait to get my 1st sale!

DeleteAWESOME!!!! Thank you so much Sarah - I'll be posting them today, I hope you love them :) Thank you thank you thank you!!! It feels like I have a 'real' Etsy shop now - I'm over the moon :)
DeleteLove the coop! we got hens on saturday, if you live any where near Moira you should head to http://www.nuthousehenrescue.co.uk/Re-home-some-hens.html, where did you get your chicken wire, we're planning to build an extension for ours at the weekend x
ReplyDeleteGreat Linda - Congrats on the hens :) We might do that, we've heard about that place, I'll have a look on the website. The wire has a story behind it lol I'm posting about it tonight but it came off a garage roof!
DeleteRe-cycling! I like it! definitely check out the nut house.
DeleteWe got our second roll of chicken wire from ebay (through Quidco of course - every little helps) but our first came off a skip. There must have been 20 metres of the stuff : ) Sometimes it pays to keep your eyes open.
