JM,

Yep I could do the holes myself I plan on doing that anyway Great idea about the concrete I will chat to DH about that. At the moment the run (on its own) is 198cm long x 98cm and 106 tall at the roof point https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...bums/chickens/ you can see it here, I have already ordered a 3rd which will extend this out 100x98 more.

If I get 2 more temp ones I will add them onto a side to make it a wee bit wider. OR I could just make it approx 5m long???

I have seen that website but I struggle with it a bit as I can't seem to navigate around it well, though admittedly I am a bit ditzy with stuff like that.

I think I feel bad because I know the chooks will only have a few hours out. Not because I don't want them out more but because there are other people living here on the farm and they have their dogs off most of the day. And believe me all hell would break loose if my chooks got eaten by one of their mutts. They only let their chooks out from 4pm onwards which is ok now but when DLS ends it will be almost dark by then.

So much to think about my head is going to explode LOL
