Sibton, they are shut in during the night and they are in a 6 ft high run with wire buried in the ground along the perimeter. That should keep them safe.

excelsior-1

wow.
that's an awful lot of omelettes.
good luck with taking care of them.

Well done, I have had mine for 8 weeks now, just a word of warning as they have come from such a bad situation, mine came with upper respiratry, sneezing, and colds,after antibiotics They soon adapt to the big wide world and just simply forget where they had come from, mine pooh for england, eat for the whole of america...(my mum works in a hospital and brings lunch for them home minus the meat), it's gone within 20 minutes, they are very loving, and loyal, we had an egg within 20 minutes of getting ours home, congratulations

Are they Warrens? If so you'll be getting upto 5 dozen eggs a week through most of the year. Hope you like cooking and omelettes.
Have fun.
