stop the chooks from kicking out the aubiose/easibed/hemcore?

 

I was thinking of something around the side of the eglu run??

[Cooks]

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.

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.

A very unattractive collection of old rotary clothes driers covers, cable tied to the run . It works though .

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'.
