Nice and easy to make, and they can live outside as well

That chicken wire looks pretty flimsy Dopey.  Defo not fox proof!

So I don't think letting them live outside would be a good idea.

Oooo, definately not outside.
Chooks like to get off the ground and roost on perches to sleep.

The construction and wire looks as if Reynard would be in for supper in no time.

Looks a bit chilly for winter too. :unsure:

Interesting looking design tho'.

As well as it being a bit flimsy, no where for the crooks to shelter of a night, if there is driving rain then they will get soaked. It also isn't very pleasing on the eye  :blink:
Gained an allotment on the 19th June 08, 135ft by 40ft! eekk. Finally after 4 years it is looking like an allotment and not a jungle

We have 5 lovely hens in the garden, fish, 2 dogs and 2 canaries

Have to agree with everyone else. It look naff. I wouldn't like it in my garden and I'm pretty sure my chickens would NOT be impressed with it either.  :ohmy:
