Olly Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 That's great Olly , you need to get that garden cut back so you can see it I am contemplating growing something over the run, my neighbour has a grapevine on the fence at the back of the run, there's a good chance it will extend over it if I encourage it a bit. Fantastic, the girls could just feed themselves treats at will! I put the Eglu on the stand today, fixed up the waterbutt (with difficulty, I wish I'd bought it earlier and got Tony to do it!) and put some woodchip and some branches in. Oh yes, and I allowed three chickens in there on strict condition that they don't make it untidy! Forgot to take any more photos though. I am a bit of a numpty - I knew that you couldn't hang the Grub/Glug on the weldmesh, but had totally forgotten about this, until I moved the hens in this afternoon. I've had to resort to an old-fashioned Glug (not the Superglug) and put them on the ground, where no doubt they'll soon be full of woodchip. I should have ordered a stand for them, will have to see what I can create out of s"Ooops, word censored!" wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Laminate flooring and ikea utensils rails are meant to be good for hanging glugs + grubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallyj Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 I love your run. It looks fantastic . It seems to blend into your garden really well. I like the idea of growing something up the run. I'd like to try that with my WIR . Has anybody else got shrubs or climbers on their run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 Laminate flooring and ikea utensils rails are meant to be good for hanging glugs + grubs Ah - thanks Lewis, I found the earlier thread about the stands that Aviaries4U make, and some home-made ones, but I'd forgotten about those options. The Superglug is the main problem as it's so heavy and it needs to hang upright (not at an angle) to work. I know other people have put a piece of wire up. I'm sure there's some laminate flooring in the garage - if not, a trip to Ikea may be needed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 We have a garage full if you were closer! My aunt + uncle bought a grub + glug this week for their wooden coop, and have taken some floor for theirs tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seagazer Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Fantastic! Tony is brilliant isn't he? Your run looks lovely. I still love my WIR and I'm sure my girls really appreciate the extra space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
