Chicken Diversions

Work began on chicken diversions and Saturday became Friday.  Firstly, we erected 2 boundary panels and then we constructed a a trellis tunnel which we linked into the Hennery.  Posts with wire above the tunnel prevents access to the garden.  Now when the girls go out to play, they have direct access to the Gaza Strip via their own jet-way. Not bad for 4 hens.  They can dig, scratch, mine, peck, excavate, preen, dust bathe and lay to their hearts' content and no one will be worried about garden damage (phew!).  Now we have to hope that they don't keep jumping/flying over the fence and that Monsieur Le Reynard doesn't come visiting!
