It has been completed today, all there is to do is a spot of painting on the wood we have used to attach the glug, as we thought the weldmesh might not take the weight of the water with it being attached to the run frame with staples. The run is on a skirt of paving slabs, with soil in the middle. I'm going to customise it with perches, but that will have to wait until after the weekend! I will also do some planting around the edges, to blend it in.

My run is 6 by 9 feet, & just over 5 feet tall- it's bespoke for me!

 

I went from this in May 07, my red eglu & standard run

 

 

To this, run extension on the eglu

 

 

 

To my new cube

 

 

To my run

My dad painting it

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I used Cinnamons' idea of putting some left-over roofing over the top of the glug to stop the girls pooing in it- thanks Sarah, great idea! All I need now is for the chooks to actually learn how to use the glug before tomorrow! They have all been shown by me how to use it ( not literally- I have held their beaks up to it ), & they have no other water source so I hope that they get the hang of it quick!

 

 

The run takes up less garden than the netted off area did, so there has been no more intrusuion onto our "football pitch".

 

I'm really pleased with it, both the way it looks & its size.

That looks great!

 

Could I ask how much the mesh cost please.

[Jules.]

It was £54 from Hills of Devon. it's 1x1 16g , 3 feet wide & 30 metres long.

I have only used half of it, & i will sell the rest on ebay.

That looks great Jules.

That is really good Jules, shame I am not closer to you or I would be tempted to buy the other half from you. I am working on getting the husband to make me a run for the girls.

[Egluntyne]

It looks super.

 

Well done.

[chelsea]

[ubereglu]

Looks very good. Thanks for the suppliers tip also, we're (hopefully) looking to build a run for the hens in the summer and sort out the garden!

[Lapinou]

Wow! It looks fantastic! Can't wait to have a large enough garden for a big walk-in run and lots more chooks. Lucky you

[bellekatz]

Looks great Jules and I a sure they will get the hand of the superglugs soon. I have also used Cinammons idea and my water has actually stayed clean and they are all drinking from underneath now. They are lucky girls to have a wonderful run like that!

[Stevie]

Looks a fantastic run! I do hope your chooks are happy in their new home!

[Yolky]

I have shown your run to the husband and he liked it and when I mentioned that our chickens would love a run like this he didn't just fob me off. These chickens may have a bigger run by the end of the summer *hopes*

[Jaffa]

Hi there,

The run looks great, could you tell me what size it is? and how much the

wood cost?. Im might be interested in the mesh, but not sure where abouts you are?

[Jules.]

The run is 6 by 9 feet, & the wood cost approx £100 with the screws.

[WitchHazel]

That looks great Jules!
