I would have got 3 birds rather than the 2 we have - the neighbours would take all the surplus eggs easily...
We are very happy with our homemade coop/run, which is a bit like a sedan chair - very elegant, no bending down, and shelter under the coop. Cost about €130 in materials, copied from an american design.
Not looking forward to the spring and the inevitable conflict between birds and seedlings though as they are out and about every day.....more netting needed....   |
