What makes a chicken coop easy to live with?

[darthwenger]

Have been trying to find a solution to the chooks kicking out all their stray for ages (as it tends to get all over the lawn and in the gravel.

 

Have just noticed that Omlet sell the Link-a-bords and it looks like the answer to my prayers.

 

Can anyone tell me if it suitable to cut/saw? as in the displayed pic the area looks a little big for my needs and I just need enough to go around the Eglu and leave enough room to get the door open (I never slide out the tray, I usually take the top off and clean them out throughly every week!)

I'm not sure but I think the ends are made to match up so it might not work when cut

 

I use wooden cladding boards, I put tent pegs about a cm from the run edge and slot the boards between the pegs and the side of the run so they 'lean' against the run

 

With the door I put two tent pegs a cm INSIDE the run and slot the board in so that the bedding is held in place when the door is opened - see below

Hi, I use linkabord around my Cube run and can definitely recommend it.

 

They have different lengths and colours at http://www.linkabord.co.uk/home.page. I bought mine from there as I needed different dimensions from the linkabord pack that Omlet sells.
