atsw Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Just for fun, obviously, but this picture amused me! It was my girls first morning in their new run and with their new feeding station. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atsw Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 That is absolutely fab. What do you use for your flooring please - looks lovely, fresh and clean. I've started with Aubiose. I was going to get Easibed, as there's a stockist just a mile from where I work, but when I got there, they had just taken delivery of bales of Aubiose, so I got that, as it was my original first choice of floor covering. I will put chipped bark by the door to prevent the Aubiose being trodden around the garden on peoples shoes as they exit the run after collecting eggs or topping up the food and water. One 20kg bale of Aubiose covered the whole run (15ft x 6ft) as shown to a depth of 1" to 2". Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 What a fantastic photo . I hope you've added it to the "post a photo" thread! I've been looking (again) at your photos (in closeup) to keep me going till my run arrives . I like the little gizmo for holding the chicken door open .

moomin Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I really like your simple idea for supporting the grub & glug Andrew, does it just prop up against the side of the run? What size weldmesh is it? Lovely set up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atsw Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 I really like your simple idea for supporting the grub & glug Andrew, does it just prop up against the side of the run? What size weldmesh is it? Actually, that is something of an experiment, which I'm testing for Tony at Aviaries4U. It's free-standing, so can go anywhere in the run. It's got weldmesh stapled to the wood frame (same wood as the WIR), with spacing that enables the Glug and Grub containers to hang at the desired height, just like they would in an Eglu run. It needs a little fine tuning, but it's got potential, for sure. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I'm getting "something to hang the grub and glug on" from Tony . Wonder if it'll be that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
