Have you posted pics?

And or how have you put them, do you have a hatch or just a door?

I have a cube & an eglu & a run - there is a photo in my signature.

I had 2 eglus in my run before the cube (regret selling my 2nd eglu) and they worked really well in the run. I didnt have a hatch for the drawers, I just swivelled the eglu around. My OH made the platforms and ladders really easily from timber from a DIY store.

That looks good Chelsea, that's what we want this year. Walk in run and 2 eglus, I do love the look of a cube but it's not really workable. We'll have a maximum of six girls and I'd have to keep the eglu to introduce new girls. Besides another eglu is cheaper

Sandy we're just going to have a single door and will take the eglus apart to take them out and pressure wash them, we don't have any of this drawn up yet but it will be this year

I would highly recommend double doors if you can Chickvic we started off with a single door on the front of the run and I found it difficult trying to get the eglu roof out - so we adjusted and made 2 double doors opening outwards.

Will look into it, thanks Chelsea. It's nice to have someone with experience to point the way!

Thanks Chelsea, perfect.

this is what I have but for summer we are moving them & one of the 2ft 6 panels changed to a 3ft. or what ever width needed for 2 to be side by side. Didn't know what to do as I have a hattch on one panel for 1 Eglu of course.

So should build with another.

This is what I have now
