I've been meaning to blog about this for a few weeks but life keeps getting in the way! So the devils own chickens decided that the 3ft high fence really wasn't offering them enough of a challenge and the minuet my back was turned where happily hopping over it and making a bee line for my next door neighbours bounty filled veg garden! Obviously this wasn't something that could continue as at some point I would actually like to go away for the weekend but couldn't leave the escape artists in anyones care as the would take the first opportunity to bugger off.
£200 of farm fencing supplies later we planned to rebuild the whole run, from this point on the be referred to (as all the neighbours are doing) as the Lion Cage, because what else do you call an enclosure made up for nine 8ft poles!

I feel my lovely curvy blue and white coop is some what lost in all this but hey ho. At least I can now go to work safe in the knowledge that are not pecking another man brassicas to death.
Look at those steely eye little bastards, already plotting their Steve McQueen 'Great Escape' style moment.
On the plus side no foxes are jumping this fence and as we had to make the run slightly larger I am already harbouring plans to get a couple of ducks come the spring, we'll see how it goes.
