Ammonia smell in coop-first time owner

[Ain't Nobody Here]

A pallet of wood and mesh isn't really worth a pic is it?

 

Wash your mouth out .

 

You can't get much more exiting than this ......

 

[Valkyrie]

 

There you go - we all get excited!

[Space Chick]

Ta Da

 

Here are the final photos of the completed WIR!

 

 

Aerial shot

 

 

From the front (sorry about the cheap tarpaulin! It bucketed down last night and we wanted some quick shelter whilst OH decided on the permanent solution!)

 

 

From the side

 

 

From the other side!

 

 

Henry looking in!

 

 

From the Introduction area

 

 

Looking down at the Intro area (note the inner double doors)

 

 

Creating a mezzanine and dustbathing area

 

 

My beloved football seats!

 

 

Me and Donna having a cuddle on the seats! (Sorry I look a mess )

 

 

The cube feeding in from the outside

 

Hope thats enough photos for you to get an appreciation. It ended it costing twice as much as I planned for but it has been worth every penny

[Valkyrie]

Hey looking good! Why is there a tiger in the corner?

[Space Chick]

Thats a little tent nesting box! I know its wishful thinking as they haven't come into lay yet

 

OH has asked me to put on his favourite picture of Rose appreciating the seats!

 

[Valkyrie]

I was waiting for you to trot me off a raspberry! A snug then! (Into the mouth of a big tiger in the corner . . . slaps wrists for you ).

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Wow, wow and wow . That's absolutely fabulous . I love all the little extra touches . What lucky chickens .

 

*sulks* I want a big run now .

 

edit: the glass clear tarpaulins make brilliant rain covers if you're looking for something more sturdy .

[Space Chick]

I have seen what you have done with yours ANH with the rain covers and my OH has been looking at it.

 

He's still a little concerned about how to slot it all into place because of the cube feeding in and the guttering. He does however, have his thinking cap on

[Ain't Nobody Here]

You can cut it to fit various bits but you just need to make new eyelets. The cup hooks work well but I wouldn't have used such big ones, with hindsight. The eyelets slip down into the hook and then aren't flush with the run panel.

[Chickvic]

That looks fab Debs!

[Janty]

Wow!

 

That looks great. I love the footy seats.

Worth the wait for the pics It's brilliant. Your chickens are so posh they go to table to eat.

[Space Chick]

Thanks guys You've made me all embarrassed now!

 

I love the footy seats.

 

 

There is history with those seats. I have been a season ticket holder at Cardiff City for a number of years. Last season was the last season in our old stadium as we have just moved to a shiny new one

 

So, they gave season ticket holders the option to buy their seats. So those seats are mine and my sisters seats.

 

My Sister doesn't have a garden, so was happy for me to buy hers too and install it in the run! (thanks sis!)

 

Its great to know that a bit of "Ninian Park" heritage will be forever installed in my Walk in Run

That's really lovely.

 

I went to the Liverpool matches with Dad for years when he was a season ticket holder. We live too far away now to go regularly but I hope that when the idiots get their own way and move Liverpool from the sacred ground, then we can buy a little bit of Anfield.

 

I will have to call Dad and tell him about your seats. That's a wonderful piece of personal memorabilia.

[chelsea]

That looks fantastic, I really like the idea of football seats in the run! Genius!

[mostin]

That run looks fabulous Debs, sorry to encore everybody else but I just love the idea of those football seats. The nostalgia and the practicality , fabulous

[Seagazer]

Fantastic run Debs - great use of the space and I love the double inside door - such a great idea.

[jlo]

That is fabulous. I am so

[Redwing]

Thats really Debs

[Sheilaz]

Brilliant WIR Debs, I love everything about it, including the seats.

Luxurious for your hens, practical for you, and inspirational to others planning WIRs!

That's a lovely idea, and such a nice place to put the seats Your chooks are such lucky girls - I hope they appreciate all the fuss they get!

[Lewis]

That looks really good, and a lot bigger than I was expecting from the walls. The intro area is a really good idea too.

I'm not jealous (of having to clean it out )

[Falkor]

Debs that is great....Love all the extras you have added...the football seats are a stroke of genius!

[Space Chick]

Thanks again guys! OH has put a door handle on the inside tonight, and I completed my first poopick, which only took about 5 mins, so 5 mins every 2 days - great
