No wonder you have been busy, you were building your (soon-to-be) chooks a palace! Well done, what a great job, I'm sure they'll love it. Stick around, thisis definitely the place to find out, and ask questions, about chooks.

Welcome to the board  :)

Hi there

Great house and run, sure it will be very well appreciated when you get your flock.  I suggest though that you fix some legs to the house to elevate it off the ground - the chooks will happily use a ladder.  

Happy chicken keeping - you will never regret it!
