AJuff Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 stop the chooks from kicking out the aubiose/easibed/hemcore? I was thinking of something around the side of the eglu run?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 my run is surrounded by wooden sleepers, so it's not been a problem, but I have seen on here somewhere where people hae put a sheet of clear perspex material (or the like) around the bottom edge.

redhotchick Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I use B&Q lawn edging. It's a strip of corrugated plastic about 7 inches high, in green. If you look up redhotchick in the omlet gallery you can see what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 A very unattractive collection of old rotary clothes driers covers, cable tied to the run . It works though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel F Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I did try a series of bricks / wood, but found that the fit wasnt snug enough. So I cut some 15" strips of tarpuline, removed the run, doubled the tarpuline and tied (with garden ties) the tarpuline to the bottom 8" of the run to make a 'skirt' all the way down both sides of the run. Then re-attached the run... It has worked a dream... There is still a little bit of kicking of aubiose out of the door, but that's all. I did try and buy some very thick polythene which I am sure would work just as well, but as I was about to pay £8 for a roll of polythene, I remembered that I had an oversized tarpuline in the shed, and so used that instead. I do think that Omlet should run 'Invention of the Week'. Rachel F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
