I need a pen like that! No fox would get in there surely?

Welcome to the forum Bigaxe, better late than never.

Sure your professional advice will be invaluable with run building questions from all poultry keepers. Might be able to answer a few shooting queries from me as well.

Hello Bigaxe
Welcome to the forum, wish you lived in NW Surrey, I need a pen like yours!! have asked my son for some such, it looks good and would look great in my back gardern. How far are the posts apart, and were they 8' long? Oh yes, we have it all planned!
I have just had a huge brown egg for my breakfast from one of my now getting on Light Sussex girls.
Lovely part of the world you live in.

Hi Valerie
i have replied to your PM but just to add, new treated timber isnt lasting as long as it should, i would dip the post in creasote then paint them when pen is completed
