Nutmeg Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Our cube and girls arrive this Friday and the area that we converted for them at the bottom of the garden is now ready. We moved and cut the trellis panels, Hubby laid the slabs and made the gate and the dog has been assisting with the log and branches that we dragged back from the woods to put in the run. We are really pleased with it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egg Lou Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Wow Nutmeg,... you've done well! wish I could prepare this well, I've been out of action with a shoulder injury so can't do anything for ages! Guess my cube will have to sit on grass till I can sort! This looks really great .. what lucky girls you will have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hilda-and-evadne Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 It looks lovely - I never tire of looking at photos of other people's chooky set up. I can't see if there is wire mesh on the inside of the trellis and gate - if a chook can put her head out, a fox or cat can bite it off - I know it sounds unlikely but it has happened to the hens belonging to a few people on the forum.

Nutmeg Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 Thank you for all your lovely replies. Egg Lou - Hope your shoulder will soon be better and you will be able to prepare your area. It is fun to do. hilda-and-evadne - Good point about the chicken wire, we were only planning to let them out of their run when we are around, but I had not thought of that, thank you. Hubby is going to put some wire around tomorrow. Had our call from Omlet today, we are booked in for 11am tomorrow Nutmeg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
