My eco solution to rat problems

[Phosphorus]

Congratulations Egluntine Will have to compare whether mine leaks as I am not having it put together by Omlet Still worried whether that is the reason they leak. Having said that I think we will put it inside the run for a while anyway

 

Run is hopefully having the mesh and cement round sides doing tomorrow I am away in London for the day on a course - praying it won't rain and I will come back to a super run - then its just the roof

 

Hmmn can see the attraction of a Flytesofancy van just turning up with a ready built run...... Still would be exciting stuff if not for the rain

 

Well done on that cube again

[chickencam]

That's exciting Egluntine

 

I wish that I had more room

[WitchHazel]

Congratulations Egluntine!! You won't regret it, I'm sure...in fact, you;ll wish you'd done it sooner.

 

Can't wait to see the photos!

I'm quite low maintenance

 

Eh? Low maintenence? I had you down as one of the first to succumb to any must-haves. Must be confusing you with someone else

 

Lucky you getting a cube - I have started to hanker after one now as well.

[Olly]

Ooh well done Egluntine - I love my Cube, and it hasn't leaked yet. Mind you I have only had it for three days!

 

My one doubt is whether I should have gone for a separate run - I've got the 1m extension on the Cube but it really isn't huge, if I wanted to add any more chickens (surely not) I'd need another extension. For that money, I might as well have bought a walk-in run. I just couldn't decide where in the garden I would put it.

 

I won't say I was disappointed because I had checked it all out very carefully first, but I do think the standard run for the Cube is very, very small - you would only want that if your chickens free-ranged for most of every day.

 

How eggciting for you - and purple IS the best colour, of course. Looking forward to seeing the pics!

[Christian]

Congratulations!

 

A cube and a walk in run and new chickens!

 

It's like birthday and Christmas all at once!

Which pen did you order?

[Egluntyne]

where will you be putting the ex-bats until the cube arrives?

In my beautiful Mark 1 Yellow Eglu, which is a thing of beauty.

I ventured to suggest that....and it didn't go down well.

 

which pen did you order?

 

9' x 18' with a roof.

Marvellous news on the cube!! I love mine, so easy to clean and move around. Should of gone for blue though!

[Snowy]

Well done Egluntine - great news! Does him indoors know yet, or will you just wait and see how long it takes him to notice it?

[Egluntyne]

He knows about the run, but he won't remember, and probably won't notice.

 

I haven't mentioned the cube....but I've paid for that out of my own account.......so I don't even have to do the "what ....that old thing.....I've had it ages" routine, or one which I find works particularly well, "What?....that?....Your Mother gave it to me"
