Redwing Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Aww bless them, might be worth investing in a shower crtain to fll that gap so the snow doesnt fall through You have had loads of snow!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipCaldwell Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 yes, we have had loads of snow, i measured 8 inches ontop of the Eglu, the weight of snow was so much it was causeing the mesh run to start to buckle!Poor old Edith doesnt like it, she took a small venture out this morning then quietly slipped back into the Eglu Guna go check on her now and shut the eglu door, bless that lonely chook!

laurmurf Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I can really recommend the corrugated plastic sheets from B&Q (thanks to ANH for the tip). You can get two overlapping slightly, held down with bungie cords and that will keep all the snow and rain off and protect the run from getting wet or snowy. It works really well for keeping the run draught free in good weather too! Good luck with the snow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Brrrrr at least the snow insulates, until it melts sometime later this year. Great pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emchook Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 You can get the corrugated plastic sheets from Wickes as well I found 3 held together with duct tape will reach all the way round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works really well for keeping the run draught free in good weather too! Yes - I got some with a smaller undulation - 1 inch rather than 3 inch - which I prefer. I drilled a small hole in each corner and used some wire to attach to run (I don't like bungie cords - seen too many accidents!) H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunkin Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Loads of snow here too - although starting to melt now Can't really see the chickens as they have flatly refused to come out! Are they in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
