So excited - took delivery of my new henhouse today. Been waiting for it for ages. A nice man makes them to whatever specifications you like, and really cheap too). I think I shall paint it blue and make it a feature in the garden. (I also think I may have to get out more :shock: )

I jolly well will....we are starting to paint it tomorrow. At the moment it's in the front of the house under the carport. The thing is.....it won't fit through the gap into the back garden so will have to be trawled through the neighbour's garden and hoisted over the fence. Might need a whole team of strong men and I don't know any. But nothing is impossible. Isn't life exciting.. :)

I'm well known for being strong in the arm, but weak in the head. :)
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Trying to put a pic on, from photobucket but it keeps going horribly wrong. How do I put a pic of my new henhouse up. Either from my computer or from photobucket please.

I am also on a Mac.

Download the photo file onto iPhoto then slide the image over to the desktop. After that use the forum instructions then 'choose' and upload to the forum.

Or, you can send it to me to my e-mail address and i'll post it for you.

Very stylish and I can tell you love your chicky-girls.

That file is bit on the large side for the forum pages, you'll need to learn how to set your camera to produce a smaller file or faff with it on iPhoto. I didn't find iPhoto very helpful though I am only marginally above dummies level with my Mac.

The great thing about find the correct file size for internet use is that they load and download quickly, it's only if you need to pick detail or do prints that you you need all those pixels that sell cameras.

Dear Diane,
you need to fasten that thing down to prevent a fox from overturning it to get at your ladies. Which are seriously cute btw.

Yes, it's too big...there were two of trying to faff about on iPhoto to make it smaller. The only way we got it smaller was to crop it.

Will have to have a look at the camera now to see if it has a "make your picture smaller" button. It's a Lumix FZ150.
