I think this will work well in bad weather and is probably a much better idea than trying to confine the little girls to the patio area and chicken shed. The perspex sheet was a bargain as it was reduced to half price. There was just one square bit left over.<\/p>\n
The three little girls were perched together on another of their favourite perches when I had an idea for the last square of perspex. I thought that if I put it behind this perch it would provide another spot that would be sheltered from the wind.<\/p>\n
