Seagazer Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 What a brilliant run - as I have discovered this week - the door in the cube run is way too small I've already warned hubby that we will need to think about a big run!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landgirl Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I'll remember to duck eventually! Egluntine you have QUITE enough hens. Don't get ducks! I'm a bit slow catching up but congratulations both on the cube and the gorgeous run. I can't wait to come and see! Well done Landgirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Thanks. I must admit I am more than a little chuffed. I keep cracking my head on the door frame though. I'll remember to duck eventually!

Olly Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 ooh it's gorgeous - only just caught up, as I can't see pictures when I log on from work. I'm very - you definitely need some more chickens in there though, they will be rattling around like peas on a drum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAJ Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 So how are they doing in their new estate - do they get lost as it is soo big? Or do they still think they should have the whole garden? Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chooks Aloud Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hi Egluntine Fab set up. No doubt in future I shall upgrade to a cube - can you tell me, do you take it to bits and take it outside to clean/power wash or how do you go about cleaning the cube. I too have a large run, like yours, and at present take the eglu to bits and power wash outside. Was just wondering if this is possible with the cube?

Egluntyne Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 I just clean it in the run. I can't see any difficulty using the power washer in the run, on a decent day, as long as the water can drain away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chooks Aloud Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 How easy are they to take to bits to take outside the run? I'd prefer to do it outside, especially in the winter. Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 I think it would be a big undertaking. I'm not sure that I would want to tackle it on a regular basis. *My son came up with a good name for the run last night ....instead of Hencatraz, it it now the Henpire State Building.

The Dogmother Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Great name.. that boy will go far! Does he share your enthusiasm for the hens? Karen, I honestly wouldn't bother with the hassle of taking it apart all the time - it's not like the eglu, which breaks down into a couple of bits; the cube (as you've probably discovered) comes in numerous panels as a sort of flat-pack. I'd do a quick clean with a bucket of soapy water on a weekly basis, then use the pressure washer every 6 weeks or so. The pressure will be enough to clean into all the nooks and crannies without taking it all apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
