If you want to PM a link I can post it up for you. :)

Is it for the chickens ?

Prepare yourself for criticisms ! :D

It's hard to say if it's suitable without seeing ti but if it's the sort I think it is, I'd not use it for chickens without extending the run securely.

If you can copy and paste the link in a PM I can post it up for you. I can only give my opinion on it and others may be able to advise better.

Link to ebay hutch HERE

If it were me, I'd double the area of the run using welded mesh and timber frame. Impossible to say how secure it is or how well built.

It's got 4 days to run so hang fire for other comments. Someone may have experience of one.

thankyou for that, yes i could double the run side of it for now till we have the main coop and run up and running, and then i can bring the hutch home or keep it there just for a rabbit or 2, (if i can seank them in without my other half seeing them)  :D

AT the moment, there seems to be a lot of foxes about so you'd need to spend a bit of time and effort to keep them out but we can advise on that.
Anything you spend on a run extension, can always be recycled for your main run later.

You could  use this set up as you small secure housing and put it inside a large run so then have space when you can't let them in the garden. We have a small secure run inside the hen enclosure and it is very useful for lots of things - mainly though segregating new hens and ultimately for a chick run when we get that far.
3 o'clock is both too early and too late to start anything - Sartre said so.

That sounds more than a bit scary  :blink:

Do emotionally disturbed people often live near allotments ?  :unsure:
There was someone else saying they had a strange man near their allotment a few weeks ago.

Good luck with sorting things out. I'd put money on the commitee knowing all about him  ;) :)  Threatening behaviour and abuse shouldn't be tolerated. Especially when it delays getting chickens !! :ohmy:
