Couperwife Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 wow, that looks fab I love the eglus on the mezzanine (sp?) level, so your garden is in a better state than ours , ours looks like a bomb site im glad its not just our girls that like sitting on a bench, I was watching them one day when they were all lined up on the bench, then they all decided to jump off at the same time, so the bench fell over, when I came down to put it back again, they all scarpered and blamed each other cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Fantastic. I love the ladders and the mezzanine. I like the light at the entrance too! Congratulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 thanks! They also have a light in the run. Battery operated with drawstring pull located in the middle of the run. Hubby thought they (the chooks) would like it for more light during these darker nights!! yes - he pampers them more than me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol U Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Fabulous! It all looks so incredibly well kept and elegant. Why isn't your seat covered in big splats as ours is? I love the mezzanine level. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazygal Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 How amazing is that run?! It looks soooo pristine, and the inside of the eglus look brand new- hope your chooks appreciate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toastedblue Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 seems to me our chickens are spoilt rotten almost every day someone posts their finished run and they're getting more and more luxurious and complex... ever wished you were a chicken ? well done to the builder and his/her mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 That's fab . I showed my boys and they both insisted we get one like that - then showed OH and he said "we've just got them for eggs". philistine * sighs, I wish we had a bigger garden & I'd build it myself * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh sarah Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 hi i love your run but i love your chooks even more, they seem to have grown so much since your last photos. can i be cheeky and ask for some up to date chooky photos as the photos with your run are just a tease. please please sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Wonderful run Chelsea! And I also want more pics of your lovely fluffy chooks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthien Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Oh Yes! please put some photos up they are like big balls of feathers they look so lovely! I think the run is amazing, just wish either my mum and I were handy with tools or that we had OH's as well , we need to go hunting for a handy, chicken loveing (with huge gardens) guy . But I think my lot of animals would scare anyone away esp my mums neurotic white toy poodle! (which I can't stand). If I can ask this without sounding nosy how long did it take to make Alix (Hopefully soon to be Chicken Mummy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little chickadee Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Brilliant!!!! I'm so impressed with the latest crop of new runs. I didn't marry the practical type though and can't do stuff like that myself for toffee! Any ladies out there who have made their own runs ?

chelsea Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 If I can ask this without sounding nosy how long did it take to make the run mesh panels were pre made aviary panels bought from a garden centre, the run is 12x6 feet and hubby first laid a brick rectangular base and then erected the panels around the outside, followed by the perspex roof and some finishing touches, all in all a good 2/3 days work.

theherd123 Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Wonderful run - just love the little ramps up to the eglus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hilda-and-evadne Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Any ladies out there who have made their own runs ? Inspired by toastedblue, I'm building mine, starting with several 1.8m x 75mm x 75mm fence posts stuck into metpost bases, and will post photos when it is finished. Aubiose should arrive tomorrow. Hens arrive 23 February. ':)' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
