AJuff Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 my hens fluffy bottoms are growing feathers again! Two weeks after feather chomping Hazel had a bumper bit fitted things are looking better. and . . . . . . . . . after weeks and weeks of cube/run discussions I think I've found an answer to hen location problems. A cube (at last) movable onto a grass playground!!!! That way it won't look like an 'allotment' as OH fears and the cube can be well out of the way when building work starts in the Autumn. Also I'll keep the eglu for introducing new chooks when I need to and . . . . . . is it possible to put cube small door adjacent to eglu door and have an even bigger run?

Christian Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Glad the bumper bits are working! They will be back to full feather in no time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 That's good news - you must be relieved! is it possible to put cube small door adjacent to eglu door and have an even bigger run? Don't see why not - would you just leave both doors open and "join" the two runs up? Only thing is, how would you get into the runs to put the food/water out ?

Fur 'n' Feathers Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Great news Shows the bumper bits work and sort the problem out harmlessly. Will remember this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 Don't see why not - would you just leave both doors open and "join" the two runs up? Only thing is, how would you get into the runs to put the food/water out ? If they were just put together then I could easily swing the eglu away from the cube to fill up grub and glugs. May not be foxproof though . . . I don't think we have foxes here in town but you never know and I'm always careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
