redbug Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 What a lovely run and gorgeous chickens. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire B Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 It is the same as xscrunchee's run as the same person i.e. Tony built it. The only difference is the addition of hatch to get the eggs out without going in, so I don't get chicken s!!! on my slippers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Love the run and the chooks - both very swish! Really like the perching areas you have for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Fantastic run and lovely looking new girls! The extra egg port door is genius!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Fantastic.....do you think Tony would come up to Sheffield? What lovely chickens. Ellie in particular is very striking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellekatz Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 was your door big enough to get the cube through or did you build it inside? I am debating whether to get a cube as i have along narrow run but know it wont fit through our door.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire B Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 Thanks all for your lovely comments We built the cube inside the run and it took us a couple of attempts as neither of us are very handy or good at following instructions I'm not sure how far Tony will travel, xscrunchee might know or you could email him on Aviaries4u@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol U Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Love your run - it's brilliant, especially the egg port . Chickens are lovely too and all seem to be getting on well. Congratulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I'm not sure how far Tony will travel, xscrunchee might know or you could email him on Aviaries4u@aol.com xscrunchee told me he would travel 100 mile radius from Cambridge. Lovely run. I was when you casually said we built this on Tuesday so quick then realised it was built already and just had to be put together. Tessa.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Lovely run (lucky chooks!) and lovely girlies - I like Mrs Tuftyhead . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xScrunchee Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 That run looks brilliant and sooo much bigger than mine Wish I could have had a bigger one really-can fit more hens in a bigger one Love the perches too, very nice. Have they used them yet? I bet you are really happy with it-it looks fantastic. Can you get your cube roof out of the door? I can get the base of the Eglu in and out but not the green lid The lid had to be put inside the run before he fixed the last panel in place-not that it causes any problems really it would just be a pain if I wanted to take the whole Eglu out for any reason. Mine are currently using two christmas tree trunks as perches Edited to say-the new girls are gorgeous too!! There I was waffling on about the run and forgot to mention the beautiful girls who will be living in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire B Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 Hi Jay, Glad you like it Would have to take the whole thing apart to get it out. Ellie has figured out how to use the perches but the others just like to sit on the bedding at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I'm not sure how far Tony will travel, xscrunchee might know or you could email him on Aviaries4u@aol.com Thanks. I'm further away than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xScrunchee Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 When I asked him before, he said that he would be willing to go past his 100 mile radius from Cambridge but I'm not sure how much further out he would travel. Might be worth asking him though because if it was 'worth his while' so to speak, he may well go out quite a bit further. I seriously cannot fault his work at all. My run really is very strong and sturdy and I'm sure Claire would say the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
