It may not look like much, but this recently constructed chicken run is currently my most favorite addition to our yard. At first the chickens were really pissed. A few of them would pace back and forth squawking at me to let them out. However they have settled down now, and accepted their inevitable containment.
(Please excuse the completely ghetto white-trash nature of this picture. We are aware, and improvements are currently being worked on.)Thanks to reclaimed lumber and free chicken wire...
No longer will these chickens dig holes in my flower beds.
No longer will bark be flicked by their feet all over the grass.
No longer will the bottom of our shoes be covered in chicken crap.
No longer will we be fearful to play chase, kick a soccer ball, or simply sit in our yard.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY,
No longer will my youngest child be able to pick up chicken poo and then eat it...
yep, that really happened.
It is a moment both Angus and I wish we could forget.

Oh Helen! Say it ain't so! (About Angus and the chicken poo ingestion.)
White trash or not, looks like a needed addition. Keep them chickens in their place.
It only happened once I swear! He was disgusted too, kept coughing and gagging...I was fishing stuff out of his mouth for a bit but he survived. Thank heavens. :)
Yea! And oh.my.heck! GROSS!!! Ugh, I'm gagging now too. lol Glad you got that fence up, not a moment too soon I'm sure.
