quickcluck Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 We've had to completely cover the WIR! I feel really sorry for my girls, but so much snow and rain was going in, they must have been cold and miserable.... If you look closely you can see Penny on the perch wondering where her birdeye view of the garden went! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Kate Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I've had to do the same - better a restricted view than a case of the sniffles i say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesAyres Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Done very similar with mine, usually out free ranging everyday, but had to keep the in the cubes run. Covered it in tarpauling, looks like and air raid shelter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-sarahjayne Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 What a good idea. Where did you get the plastic sheeting? I've been looking everywhere for it and can't seem to locate any Thank you in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarahsausage Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I've done the same! What a wonderful WIR you have too! I've left one side uncovered so they can see out though. Sarahjayne I got my sheeting from the garden centre, you can have as much as you need that way, hope you find some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Mine is good old ikea shower curtains 78p!!!!! Good idea about the garden centre, hadn't thought of that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiggyPudding Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I thought someone had taken a photo of my garden/WIR/House then - it's all very similar shapes ! I used ikea shower curtains, lots of panel nails & a few pegs. I've only done the front though, mainly because I only bought 4 shower curtains & the front seemed to be where all the snow was coming in...East facing.

sandyhas3chucks Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 bubble wrap is good too. used for insulating greenhouses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheaky Beaky Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Really tough time for the Chucks at the moment, I went and bought a ceramic heat lamp for my three,and wired it into the shed, Works brilliantly, I only put it on at night. They seam to be laying well too. They don't like to walk in the snow, but i have cleared it away a little and they venture out a bit during the day. I have also been giving them a little porridge oats too. Hope some of these things will help your chucks too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
