chick wiggle Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 *Long post and lotsa piccies warning!!!!* At last my wonderful Oh has finished our WIR, built with his very own fair hands. Im so excited even though at the moment we are having to make do with a tarp for the roof. The wire roof is up so all is safe and secure. Well... here it is, .. Looking from back to front The cube on outside of run Table with roosting bars (hee hee I;m so excited can ya tell ) 'The cottage' which they dont sleep in anymore but two of them still lay their eggs in there! and the pophole so they can get into the garden safely Well Im loving it, it makes cleaning, filling up the food and water containers so much easier and keeps lovely and dry. Plus, now I leave the cube door open a little bit so in the morning they can let themselves out whenever they like. Once again .... YAY!!! Oh, and by the way, as for them not eating lemon balm, well, dont you believe it mine have chomped away merrily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chick wiggle Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Oh thank you for your lovely comments, i am still really thrilled with it. Its 5m x 6m but not square, an odd shape really thats why poor OH had such prblems with it but my chickens deserve every inch of it He never did attempt you OHs clever trick with the cube roof Cookie, hes sort of put the wood around it and filled in with wire, still good tho. Could you see the lemon balm in the middle?, it looked lovely when it first went in but its nearly all gone now ah well never mind theres more where that came from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
