Jobi-Wan   10 #2 Posted November 10, 2008 I might have a few bits of wood lying around.  How big are you wanting to build it?  I built mine if you want to see how I put it together when collecting the wood? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
cooljules   10 #3 Posted November 10, 2008 I might have a few bits of wood lying around. How big are you wanting to build it?  I built mine if you want to see how I put it together when collecting the wood? not sure, was thinking of a 10' run and coop. i have a old shed, then needs a fair bit of repair but its a start! where abouts are you?

Jobi-Wan   10 #4 Posted November 10, 2008 I'm at Hellaby, just off M18, junc 1. PM me if you fancy popping over and I'll give you my number to arrange.  I built my hen house based on a 5'x3' trailer lid and with old fence posts as the supports and sheets of ply for the walls and roof, incorporating a window. It cost me about £20 in total and would probably house 15 hens, but I only have 7 in there at the mo. I also used shelf brackets and timber stud walling batons for the perches and it's off the floor to give shelter underneath.  It doesn't have to be fancy as long as it's fox proof and does the job it was built for Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
