Hen house and run complete

Today I worked on getting the run put together and in place. There is quarter inch hardware cloth fastened to the bottom to keep any varmints from digging under and up into the run. I dug down about 3 inches so the hardware cloth will be covered by a few inches of dirt.


It's taken longer than I thought it would, but it's finally all done and ready for the hens as soon as they are old enough to go outside. (I actually still need to cover part of the run so it stays dry in the winter.)


It's been a fun project and we're all looking forward to seeing the hens out there laying eggs!
