The henhouse

We have decided to have hens - i didn't realise just how difficult having hens could be. I have bought all the mags - and read some books, I have read the do and don'ts, the red mites and the chopped straw. The pen is built alongside the lazybeds and I am looking forward to having chicken manure for my veggies but we need a hen palace for them to live in - one is under construction it has to be suitable for hens and also for the egg collector - me. I have a balance problem (due to surgery rather than alcohol) and have been known on occasions to end up in the bottom of the fridge or the beetroot patch headfirst. The hen house has turned into a mammoth task - as it needs to be accessible for me to clean and to collect the eggs without falling in. The plan initially is for 6 hens - no cockerel too noisy and can't cope with more (baby) cockerels, I don't see myself as a neck wringer! The hens have been ordered and should be available by February or March 2008 well that gives the mink trappers plenty of time to rehouse the little tinkers elsewhere and away from my tasty chooks. Anyway here is the palais de poulets in it's naked stage, it will be painted a yummy mummy blue.
