Helping out the neighbours

Well today Nick and Henry put up a willow fence. They braved the gusting winds with a two meter very bendy fence.....

It's going all the way around the back and down one side of where the chooks will be living. It's been well staked with tree posts to keep it up round the back and it nailed to the fence on the other side.....

It's predominately to help out Karen who lives at the end of the garden to help to shield the noise and noise limit to what she can see, although I think she's quite keen to keep her beady eye on them... also to sheild us from next doors very nutty dogs! They are constantly either trying to come under or over the fence and I fear that the chance of a chick will be too much for them to keep their restraint... I'd like to see the bugger pole vault over 2m of fence... maybe we should keep a CCTV cam there just in case!!!

Surprisingly though it really does sheild from the elements.. We were put to a good test up there today as it was gale force at times, and it really does cut it down by at least 50% if not more. I think our chooks will be very warm and cosy in there; it's pretty private for them now, so they should be very content!!!
