Restructuring the run this morning, trying something slightly different.
I currently have that large run and coop and inside of it another house and run for the bantams. Well I decided that it wasn't big enough for the little chaps so....
Let the big LF's out into the garden and locked them out of the run then let the little chaps out of the their run into the big run for a bit of exercise. Cleaned both houses out, then took the little chaps little run apart and have made it bigger but with no roof (remembering it it is still in the big run which is covered) the walls of the new run being about 2ft high only. (I did at this point wonder if the LF's may jump in  Then as an experiment let the LF's in with the bantams....I expected Hattie the matriach to have a go, but no...it was Barney the "underhen" who charged around after them  looking very pleased with herself that she had someone of her own to pick on. So popped the the bantams back in their own new run.
Then cleaned the rabbit out putting him in another seperate portable run on the lawn for a bit of play and greenery, for my daughter who is ill and comatosed on the sofa  , then popped him back in his run/hutch
Oh and collected an egg from the LF's nest box too...good ol' Nameless.
Happy with all my efforts I walked into the house to get a cuppa and looked out the window to see the two little 9 week old pekins perched on the run top between theirs and the LF's....little monkeys and there was me wondering about the LF's, taunting them and below them the Frizzle Squeak nearly having a hernia cos he couldn't get up and couldn't get near them...
 Out I went again with a slightly different plan and a new perch for them to use instead. Do you think I earned that cuppa  |

Lol, and then she brought all the little birds round to my house and they ate crumbs off the kitchen table whilst we had a cup of tea - good job the OH was out, lord knows what he'd have made of it

Bet you enjoyed your cuppa
I had today all planned making hen runs- none of it got done, ended up looking after a sick lamb and rescuing a horse stuck in a fence instead
(and got given 3 roos)  |
