Penny is approximately 6 years old. She came to us on 3rd May 2021. This was her when she arrived home. This is her today with her buddy Lyra.

I'd like to be able to give her and Lyra more freedom somehow though. They occasionally get to stay in another cage for a few hours, but it doesn't seem much. Someone mentioned a paddling pool (with no water in it, and some toys) but I am sure that being hens, they would just bite it!. Awww Penny. We have all watched with interest as you've settled into your new home. Happy life, you lucky girl!

That sounds like a great idea. There must be materials that if they did bite, it would harm them or ruin it.

Almost something that's a combination of a paddling pool and a large dice tray. I'm trying to think if Ikea had any plastic storage boxes larger than the ones that I use as a foraging box. Halpy belated gotcha day, Penny! Those hens are thriving with you, Marianne Marlow

We have a doggy paddling pool which we got during the first lockdown summer in the heatwave. It has rigid sides and just folds open and closed so is easy to pack away and goes in it’s own little case. The dogs weren’t impressed! 😂 We had to bribe them to use it!! Size-wise it’d probably be perfect for Penny and Lyra. I’ll search out a photo and look back to see where we bought it. I can’t believe how quickly the year has gone since you brought Penny home! Belated happy Gotcha Day.

I can't believe it was a year either. I only realised because I got an email saying my preloved membership was about to expire Oh yes, a link or something would be great. All the ones I saw on amazon either had some sort of mesh in them or looked very biteable. We have a doggy paddling pool which we got during the first lockdown summer in the heatwave.

Oh thank you. I'm sure it's better than constantly breeding and living on someones balcony. But I still feel her and Lyra are too cooped up. I'm so glad Penny lives with you Marianne Marlow. You've change her life so much. She's just had the best year ever.

Ha! I didn't realise you had already posted it when I added my last message. Looks good and not inflatable.

As you know, we'd love to see pictures of how you set it up and Penny and Lyra enjoying their new play area!
