I've used the plans from blp books that I mentioned on the other thread (even if they are now out of print George! ) It's meant to house 6-8 but as I've got BIG chickens, I think it should be ok for my five. There are already plans afoot to extend the run, but it'll certainly do for now as they're still quite small. Meg couldn't resist getting in, I think she's angling after me building her a Wendy house next!!
