What makes a chicken coop easy to live with?

[maryeadrian]

After much deliberation, measuring and re-measuring our small yard about 100 times, I finally ordered my Eglu!

 

Our yard is small and I was trying to maximize space. We started out wanting the Cube, but then I kept looking at everyone's WIR's. Ends up if we build a WIR, put the eglu outside the run (Can't remember who did that here with great photos! Thanks, that really helped!) we would have much more room for them.

 

Again, thanks to many terrific photos, we're putting it up on a table, so very little bending to clean. Being short, helps, too.

 

I should also say we're having 3 chooks. By law only 4. So even if I wanted to expand I couldn't. Maybe I should move....hmmm.

 

Anyway, I talked with Claire and my Eglu should be at the Greyhound Station no later than the 13th. I'm soooo excited!!!!!

Definately the best

[maryeadrian]

Yeah...I noticed that on your signature! Do you have any photos of it? (I just keep wanting to look at it.

This is when we first had the eglu and girls last year. Garden does not look like that now

I do like an excuse to post pictures of eglus .

 

Here's ours pre-converter (the lawn was like that already ).

 

 

In case you wanted a wee peek inside ...

Congratulations Mary.

Great news! I'm sure you'll love the eglu. We're just getting a second pre-loved one (thanks to Taj!). We might end up with a cube at some point ( no limit to numbers over here - perhaps unfortunately to those of us addicted!) but we thought we'd stick with the proven technology of the eglu- and they do look so funky!

 

Let us know how you get on with the chicks.

Thanks everyone. And ANH for the photos! When I pulled them up this morning, my heart jumped followed by, "Ahhhhh". I just love looking at it!
