Cagney Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 We have just ordered a Cube with a 1M extension. Reading various posts, I note that reference is made to a large door. Is this now standard or is it provided at additional cost? I cannot find it as an option in the shop nor was it mentioned when I spoke to the nice people at Omlet. Sorry to be a pain but this is all new to us. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I don't have a cube but I believe that it is standard now. Welcome to the forum, by the way . How many chickens are you planning on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 The larger door is standard now. I asked on Monday when I ordered the purple cube. Although I haven't ordered any runs, I ordered a new door section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torrin Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I bought a cube with 1m extension 2 weeks ago and yes it does have a large door. I am not a small person (!) and I can easily climb in when needed. Reading older posts I think this is a great improvement - I would never have fitted thru the old size door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagney Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Thanks to one and all. We have 3 chicks on order but we are now wondering whether we have done the right thing. It looks to be a bigger commitment that we first envisaged!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurmurf Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 no No NO - not a bigger commitment, they're the easiest beasties to look after - just wildy addictive! and I'm absolutely over your new door! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 don't panic Cagney - they are surprisingly easy to look after, a lot easier than cats or dogs. Don't forget that most of the posts on here are from people with problems or questions - those who are quietly enjoying their chickens in the garden often don't bother to post about it! I guarantee you won't regret getting chickens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadAboutChooks Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 You wont regret it, I am so glad that I decided to keep my chooks. They are so easy to keep, and such fun to watch. Not forgetting the added benefit of the yummy eggs!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagney Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 Thanks for the re-assurance. Omlet tell me that large doors are now standard on the Cube. The only problem now is that our grown-up children are threatening to call in the men with the white coats! They think that we have completely lost the plot.
