It's a long road but she's working hard 🙂. Don't miss out on the ECLMAX discount code if you decide to buy 😉. Not sure how long we can run it for & would hate it if you missed out!
I'm in 🇺🇸...I like your runs. The wire is much better than what I have... the hex isn't worth it. I have rabbits cages in mine arms paddock over the top. A mesh floor and extensions would be great options! With welded wire and the doors you have, a person could have rabbit colonies running free.
Hi Fiona. Well done on your poultry shop looking good. Just a quick bit of advice needed regarding sour crop, we have a 3 yr old White Sussex (head hen of 3 who has developed Sour crop, our first course of action was no food for 24 hrs only water with apple cider vinegar added. we have massaged her crop on 2 occasions whilst tilting her head downwards this made her regurgitate bring up smelly brown fluid about half a tea cup along with remains of seeds, pellets and the remains of a Slow worms tail. Started feeding her with yogurt with a little added honey this also had a sprinkle of pro biotic, conducted a second massage session later that day again more brown fluid and a few remains of seed, she is not interested in her normal food but drinking, comb still bright red with a slight purple edge. Today she has been force fed more yogurt, also tried a small amount of scrambled egg/chopped strawberry ignored egg but did eat strawberry which was coated in probiotic.She is self isolating and is going to bed indoors in a second nesting box. Any tips or ideas/advice please. Our hen vet ( over 1.5hrs away) is away until end of June.
Evening Steve! We don't have a lot of experience with sour crop I'm afraid. Obviously a vet is the best bet but we have found this page to have solid information www.bhwt.org.uk/hen-health/health-problems/sour-crop/
@@EnglishCountryLife Hi Fiona, thank you for the very speedy reply, wife reading through BHWT link, Lots of differing advice. Will investigate further, thank you again. SteveR
That's fantastic. We are moving away from wood now as we struggle to get even 10 years out of fence posts - it all seems to rot in contact with the ground
Hi, lovely to see Fiona up and about. Time to do some measuring up!!

I really can't see why that wouldn't work - what a great idea 💡
Really like those!
They are awesome - and a bargain too
Good to see you (fiona) on your feet.
Thanks David!
Do you have a video up on how to pickel gherkins please thank you 😊
We do, but I see you found it 😁
Really useful, thank you. Hoping to get my first chickens later this year 😊
Oh how exciting!

Myself my son and my friend built ours with much of the wood foraged or donated.
