My wife has broken her leg and is completely house bound. As she is very nervous about people knocking it she has requested that we do not go on holiday until she is recovered. Next month we had planned to go away for our anniversary, although it is a disappointment that we cannot go it is understandable why we can't.
We have moved into a new property which is situated in a little village in the countryside. As we have both always wanted chickens I decided that the best thing to do as a surprise present would be to build a chicken run and get some chickens as a surprise for her. I realised very quickly that I didn't have a clue about how to keep chickens so I thought the best thing to do would be to do a bit of research into their up keep. I found out that they needed a lot of care so I decided to go online and purchase wormers and medicine from Pet Supermarket.
Once I had bought all the medical side of things I then turned my thoughts to how I was going to build my chicken run. I've got to admit that I'm not the best at DIY so I thought the best thing to do would be the map it out from start to finish! I can't wait to see the look on her face when we walk into the garden and she's got a lovely pair of chickens in their run. Hopefully it will cheer her up.
