When I got up it was Hen House Cleaning time. I stripped the beds (removed the straw), washed the floor and walls, cleaned the toilet (scrubbed the perches and poop catching tray) and sprayed with disinfectant. Luckily it was warm and sunny so the wooden parts dried in the sun. Not sure how this will work if it's tipping down.
I'll be making a start on building the run this weekend. Ellis is coming to stay today so when I went to pick her up I used the opportunity to "borrow" some things from my brother - staple and nail guns, wood glue, wire cutters and a nifty little contraption for cutting wood at angles.
But by the time we got back from food shopping it was too late to start today, so we just sat in the garden and let the hens out again. The Ex Battery Hens Forum I've joined say that you waste a huge amount of time watching hens and I completely agree.
