A lovely new chicken house ;0)

Our lovely new chicken house arrived late yesterday afternoon, from P&T Poultry, it holds 16 - 22 hens. I have 22 hens but 4 of them are cockerels and they are going to be 'sorted' this afternoon, so we'll be down to just 18, some bantams & some large fowl.
I'm not the most patient person in the world, so I decided to try and put it together there and then. Surprisingly enough a couple of hours later I nearly had it all put together, but it was starting to get dark and cold and the girls were hungry so I had to call it a day.This morning I just had to fix the roof down and put the hinges on the nesting boxes, screw the ramp together......add loads of fresh shavings and it was all finished!
Hens have already started showing an interest, as soon as I went in to make a cuppa I saw a few walking up the ramp having a little peck about and going in. Hope they like their new home, they've had to put up with a small leaky shed since we moved here. So new accommodation is long over due.


LUSH!!
