Carol U Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 Run looks fantastic - OH is building one we hope will look as good! Ours will be the same size with an eglu outside.At the moment we have 2 girls -and are hoping to get three more but are a bit worried as four is listed s the maximum for an eglu. Are all your girls OK in the eglu? We actually have a wooden house at the opposite end of the run with two more nest boxes, but although they use it as a sort of playhouse, they all pile into the eglu at night and also all choose to lay in it. As Egluntine said, they all sleep in a heap on top of one another, so we could fit several more in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjules Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 [As ypu say Tessa, leveling the ground was a nightmare. It took longer to do that than all the rest put together! We're still trying to get rid of the surplus soil. (Visions of Great Escape-style drawstring bags of soil in trouser pockets.) Your run looks great, I too love the colour. We did it the other way round , built the run, now trying to level the ground inside it. Have filled 2 raised beds with soil so far, now not quite sure where else to put it!! My only other idea is to fill bin bags with it and tie them up, cut slits and use as growbags for the tomato and chilli plants that I have yet to sow!!

Your girls certainly look very content, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
