[QUOTE="Shadrach, post: 25136666, member: 521413"] The first thing that struck me as we stood outside the run fence that night was there was a rather dirty Light Sussex rooster with a Light Sussex hen perched one side of him and a grey hen perched on the other side on a roost bar in the corner of the covered run area of the coop. The next thing that struck me was there was no door on the run area of the coop so the rooster and the two hens only predator protection was the outer run fence (I’ll write more about this fence further on). At that time I had no idea that there were another 22 hens inside the coop itself! I didn’t take any pictures that night but below is a picture of the rooster and one of his favourite hens on the roost bar settling down for the night. [ATTACH type="full" alt="P9290313.JPG"]2907198[/ATTACH] I’ve kept a short written diary each day since I started looking after these chickens and taken quite a few photographs over the past three months. Many of these photographs I’ve posted on By Bob’s, Ribh’s and Mary Janet’s threads. My apologies for reposting them here. A couple of days after speaking to the person who has the small holders licence that covers the keeping of the creatures and the allotment style plots, I had new keys cut for the padlock on the main run gate and was finally able to see better what it was I had taken on.
