We finally finished the snake/cane toad and rodent-proof chicken pen today. It was a HUGE task, taking us 5 sessions and over 11 hours of work. I kept cursing Grey Bitch and her death for making me do the work, but it needed doing so I'm glad it's done. The pen looks like its sponsored by Heineken as we used bottle tops instead of washers. So thanks to everyone who had a beer with us over the Christmas/New Year period!
Above is a picture of one of the random walls, it looks rather prison like but we want the chickens to feel safe again. I think it worked too as this evening I didn't even have to get them out of the mango trees they all went in of their own accord.
Now that the pens are snake-proof Speedy is going to start sleeping out in the duck pen. He is still too young to sleep with the chickens as those bitches will peck him. He is a photo I took of the both of us.
Cotcha has built another nest in the duck pen, she's so cute when she sits on eggs. I will try and get a photo tomorrow.
