Not wargaming related at all , but the reason for a halt in figure production - we have a new hen house . It came as a flat pack (very quickly - ordered and delivered in three days !) and proudly boasted it slotted together in twenty minutes ! - well I've heard these sort of boasts before - BUT to my great surprise I got it together in under the allotted time - even with the dog helping !
The old coup awaiting being turned into fire wood . It has done very well but it would not have seen another winter through and because of the good summer weather is infested with Red Mite - the bane of the hen keepers life and has taken constant cleaning to keep them at bay (unsuccessfully ).
The new one being plastic is easier to keep clean , I plan to raise it up on some brickwork when I get some sand and cement and clean up some of my existing bricks , then their food can be put out of the weather underneath it . Sorry for the rather scraggly hen - she's in moult and not looking her best - I'm hoping she and her fellows take to it and go to bed without a fuss tonight - now back to toy soldiers !.
That is a very impressive Hen House - a very good use of modular plastic construction...the hens will be very comfortable. Cheers. KEV.
ReplyDeleteYes very impressed with it - not cheap but will last longer than wood .
ReplyDeleteDon't you mean "thanks to the help of my dog"? Nice looking coop.
ReplyDeleteYes he has his own way of helping which involves running off with tools, instructions etc .
DeleteIt looks like a Playmobil barn... and very sturdy and comfy. I'm sure your feathered friends will be happy with it. Can you drop me a link to where you got it? Our hens may need rehousing soon as well.
ReplyDeleteYes it is surprisingly sturdy , will email you details .
