writes https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kdutf84e9...FXjo3k-9a?dl=0 The trouble with Chickens is they can fly. Not much on sustained horizontal but they are quite good at short vertical to reach perches. Mr. Fox also has excellent jumping capabilities:-( -- Tim Lamb |

However, looking at the 7th photo, I see it is the land that slopes, and the gate is doubtless true. Yes it looks a bit strange doesn't it? I need to put some flags under the gate to provide a level surface. One of the hens is a bit of a bugger for tunnelling her way out. Anyway, my dad said, "You'll have to plane one of the double gates soon" as he was right. After all the downpours the post has bent a bit so the gate needs a few mil taking off it, or maybe I'll bash the hinge to see if there's any leeway for 'adjustment'. Bill |

And it is clear from their behaviour that they are not even slightly communistic. Bill |

Bill I can understand having looked at your garden. Not very green is it. I try to avoid anything that could be misconstrued as environmentalist. It would make sense for me to have a wind turbine but I couldn't stand the shame. Bill |
