Today, Christmas Eve 2011, the hens moved full-time into the new “winter enclosure”.  It is a 4×4 metre enclosure made with steel poles that has weldmesh covering it to keep the hens safe from foxes.  Completely inside the enclosure is their new coop, a 4×3 foot shed that stands in the middle of the enclosure, at the back.These photos can be seen in full on the Picasa album:
