Solitary chicken - need advice

[quickcluck]

Well here is my lovely new purple cube all set up and ready for it's residents, I am frustrated that I booked a pesky holiday and now have to wait until the 25th until I can get them

 

We are really pleased with it, and have already ordered another extension to go on it

 

My poor OH is busy just trying to keep up with me, but as my girls wont be freeranging lots I really thought they could do with the extra space!!

 

Am hoping these links work

 

The perches came from a tree already in the garden!

 

 

This is what I can see from my window, I took down a small tree so I can see them all the time

 

 

This is my coops just watching all the action!

They will be very happy in there and you have a beautiful garden too

about time, some people have no dedication, It is absolutley fab, purple is very very cool. good move making sure you can see them from the house, you will need to if you want to spend anytime indoors ever again. If you can i would recommend doing a door conversion befiore the girls come as commando crawling on your belly into poo is not exactley lovely.

I have just taken mine to pieces and washed it (slight ocd).

I havew been in bed all weekend after catching a cold on friday in the monsoon.

It looks great.

 

Your garden is gorgeous.

I would also recommend doing door conversion in advance.

 

Your purple eglu looks beautifully positioned and is fantastic in your beautiful garden - wonder what your wee dog will make of the chickens!

[Seagazer]

Lovely photos - your garden looks lovely. I would also say the door conversion would be a good idea. I've now got the arch support thingy, just got to get around to sorting it all out.

[Yolky]

That really looks great.

Have the arch on order! Will come on the 28th, so will have to add the extension with the girls in situ and coops standing guard, should be an interesting afternoon!

 

Think coops will be OK, but think he will bark at them a fair bit to begin with... will also keep them in for a while as am looking after various dogs and rabbit till the middle of september and dont want them to get used to going out and then keeping them in..... if that makes sense

 

thanks for the positive coments on the garden, we've only been in the house a year and have worked hard on it.

you could do door conversion once they habve gone to bed, it is actually very easy, I am halfway through it and will finish it on Friday when arch comes.
