Chook run
« on: February 08, 2007, 15:36 »
Hello all, iv just sent a form back to the council to rent plot 2 so i can make plot 1 into 2 :? .
Anyway if i get it i want some chooks, about 6 i recon.
I was thinking of making a run out of harris fence you know the bar n mesh stuff, so how big should i make it and how deep should i bury the bottom rail to stop mr fox :?:

One more thing what chooks would you go for :?:  an hybrid or pedigre :idea: Any help would be great :D.

Don't forget to relace it periodically as the bit in the ground will corrode quicker than that above  :!:
