Boybeck Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I'm in the process of building a walk in run for my three chickens. I must admit it's testing my limited DIY skills to the limit, but I'm getting there! Do you think the space is big enough? 345 cm long x 160cm wide x 190 cm high. I will put the eglu outside the run so that gives them a bit more room. I currently let the chickens free range all day but they are making such a mess of the garden I want to contain them a little bit more.

meezers Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I still use feet and inches, so not sure if I've converted that right- is it about 9ft by 4 ft ? That should be fine for 3 chooks, but is the height 5ft ? if so, unless you are under that in height, I'd suggest you add a few inches- my first walk in run is 5ft high ( as that was the length the wood came in ) I'm 5ft 2 inches and am forever scalping myself when I go in the run !

wiblick Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Plenty big. A few perches & the odd hanging cabbage and they'll love it. I think 190 is 6ft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boybeck Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 Sorry for the centimetres lark, I get confused with feet and inches - hehehe. 11 ft long x 5ft wide x 6ft high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Mine's 3m x 2m which using a conversion calculator seems to be 9'8" x 8'2". (Link in my signature if you want to get an idea of its size.) My 3 girls have lots of perches, a bench and the eglu on a table which gives them lots of extra floor space. They seem very happy and often spend time in there even though their door is open . So yes, it will be big enough . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
