ryaldinhio 5,160 Posted yesterday at 15:31 Author Report Share Posted yesterday at 15:31 Just in market for couple pigs now. Been talking to Issy, was hoping to pick some up this weekend just gone, but she has gone a bit radio silence on me. Not offended or owt, I know she is a busy lass, just looking at other options. There are plenty about so should have some by the weekend. Hoping to have the new chicken/turkey/duck enclosure sorted this week aswell and get them moved over. Bought a Rolls Royce of nesting boxes, eggtopia from heritage hen huts. It was 200sheets but will be worth it. Rollaway nest box so the eggs are clean. Goes through a small slot so the hens can't eat them, which they have been doing. Eggs accessible from outside so you don't disturb laying hens. Perch folds up if you have a broody hen to keep em out box, on pic perch is in the up position. Looks the business. This build I'm doing everything pukka for the long term. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
