Cooks Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 (edited) Here is our completed run, or should I say Sugar and Cocoa's completed run. We are still pondering on a shelf, so that will be added but this is it. Dustbath added, logs, old tile that was in my garden that they liked to stand on, so I put it in there for them. As you can see it has a tin roof, so it has plenty of shade but does get the sun across one end if they want it. I hope you like it. excuse my dog having a quick sniff! http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm5/hullahoop777/SP_A0124.jpg this is cocoa trying out the logs http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm5/hullahoop777/SP_A0126.jpg followed by sugar buking at her for her to get off as it was now her turn http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm5/hullahoop777/SP_A0127.jpg Edited May 6, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooks Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 thank you, I think they should be happy there, mind you they've been out in the garden free ranging all afternoon with us. I think they thought by hiding under a bush I cant see them.... someone has to tell sugar she's white.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 it is lovely, have you thought about getting hubbie to build a table to put the eglu on. Would give them some shade and a little more floor space. I think Chelsea did this!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphorus Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Wow that looks really great. Do think you need a few more chooks in there though - did you mention a Bluebelle They look like they need a few more friends. Congrats to the builder, he has done a great job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooks Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 well I can see the general idea is that I get more girlies I think I am staying with my two at the moment and not rushing things. Thanks for the nice comments OH will be so pleased. I will pass them on. Yes we have thought about a table for the eglu, but it doesn't really need the shade because it has a solid roof, not clear. I will probably adapt it over time, hubby says we can build an extention if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphorus Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Get in there now and get him drawing up possible extension plans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 I cant even fill this run, let alone an extended one!.. The girls love it by the way!!... they were splashed in sun this morning, so I used the eglu sun shade and clipped it on the wire to give them more shade.. They are so beautifull, I have to keep looking at them, they probably think.. go away!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenlass Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 There are some really amazing set ups for your chickens on here...I'm sure they will be VERY happy in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 Get in there now and get him drawing up possible extension plans hubby says extention plans have already been approved, unfortunately they are for the pond though.. yes we are very carefull about the chickens with the pond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 it is lovely, have you thought about getting hubbie to build a table to put the eglu on. Would give them some shade and a little more floor space. I think Chelsea did this!? Yes Poet, it was me hubby made this - it was brilliant as we could hang stuff off the mezzanine and also the chooks liked to sit underneath it. Also made the eglus easier to carry from waist height. Lovely run by the way. loopyloo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooks Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 dont get him started.. that's really nice Chelsea, hubby is still pondering on what to do, they do have plenty of shade though due to the solid roof, and I can put the omlet shade on the side to give more shade... until hubby has decided They are crouching now!!!
