Thanks toast and Jelly! We set the lizard free just around the corner. My wife does gardening work so she is bound to see it again soon.
As I posted this morning, took the day to try get the flock into the new coop. I was short on materials so I had to make do with a temporary solution for the connecting run. Just used a couple of shorter length timbers and joined two pieces of chicken wire. Not exactly pretty but functional for now. Will get a pic tomorrow.
It was much harder to coax them into the new coop at dusk. I spent the afternoon removing and cleaning the old coop so the girls were a bit out of sorts when they could not find their beds! Managed to herd them all in and everyone found a roost and is settled in.
Fingers crossed the girls figure it out and we get eggs in the new nest boxes soon.
Ben just wondering if there's a reason that your roosts are set on edge like that? I've read that they should be set on the wide side as they like to sit on their feet, more comfortable and also keeps them warm in colder weather. I have tree limbs in mine and they are fine with that as well.
