hello Gary -make sure that the henhouse is securely attached to the base!
otherwise.....this is one we built on stilts after a rather windy night!!! :lol:  :lol: (If you look carefully you can see the house is upside down -poor chooks!!)


...... :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Fully agree with Foxy one of ours went over in the strong winds last week. It 8is noe battened firmly down. Luckily there were no hens in at the time.
Happiest in the countryside.
Breathe deeply, and let the butterflies fly in formation!
