Hi everyone, it's been a while! But I've come back again for a chat!
Thought you might like to see my shed and runs. We aren't finished yet, but here's where we are up to so far:
The shed - has 2 hutches built in, both 7ft long x 2ft deep. They can easily be divided up to make 4 smaller areas.
Inside the top, and bottom, floors:
The circles at the end are the doors to the ramps down to the runs. The top one has it's 'door' shut in the pic.
The ramps, leading into the 'dry' run, which is paved to help the pigs file their nails down:
the tube with holes in the side runs into the grass run.
Here's it all together
We are going to divide the dry run into two, and make a second grass run, so that all the pigs can have free use of the runs together. At the moment, they have to take turns because the boys fight. They got together by mistake yesterday, and drew blood!
I think we will cover the dry run too so they can go out in the rain. They have had their first experience of rain today, a we had a brief downpour. They kept coming out, popcorning in the rain, and running back in!
