How exciting!

 

My Tony was put up last week - by the man himself - and I love it, love it, love it

Hey MummyHen another Tony. Don't forget to show us some pictures will you? Like Torrin my run has just been built by Tony and tonight I put some hemcore in it ready for my chickens which arrive with the Omlet van tomorrow morning. My slippers have got hemcore stuck inside them. And Plum, I'm so glad you are going to be put out of your misery at last.

Just now waiting for the new cube to be delivered

[Plum]

That is really beautiful, I love the colour and good idea to have the internal doors. Excellent

[MadAboutChooks]

Lovely! I just got a Tony, but what a good idea to get the internal door!! wish I had thought of that Did that feature cost a lot more I tried to make my own with trellis! but was not very sucessfull and a right pain! luckily they are all together now. I am

[Ain't Nobody Here]

That's fabulous . Great size and brilliant idea, the internal door .

 

I'm off to add it to the Chicken Run Photos thread - as inspiration for future Tony owners .

[MummyHen]

Thank you for your kind words but all the ideas come from this site

 

I already see a modification is necessary as the classic port isn't going to work in its current design - I feel a enpekt style door coming on.

 

The two internal doors were £60.00

 

The new arrived and was put together very quickly - without the run its so much easier no green clips and no sore thumbs

[Seagazer]

Fantastic run, very big. The internal doors are a great idea too

[sewitall]

Fantastic run. It's a veritable chicken palace. Your chickens are going to love it.

[Purplemaniacs]

Lovely run, the internal door is a great idea.

Very nice, very nice indeed . I do like the new dark stain that 'Tony' runs now have - is that standard, or an added extra? The internal partition is fab. I'm thinking that would be a good addition to my run to help with intro's next year (yep, planning ahead!). I might drop Tony an e-mail an see if a set can be retro-fitted.

 

Looking forward to seeing Cube and Chickens.

Fabulous! Mine is a dark stain, so I think that's standard for a 'Tony' these days. What a lovely big run, you could get soooo many hens in there!

[poachedegg]

It looks really good!

I had the first "Tony" with the internal double doors, as it was my idea

 

Unless he's modified the design since he did mine for me, you had to have the double doors inside before building the rest as it wouldn't get in through the door otherwise.

[MummyHen]

I've spent today moving my flock into their new home; I've added some glass tarp & a dust bath, two separate feeding stations and a hanging feeder.

They just love the different perches, I think it'll take a few days to get used to especially as all six hens are now together - no need to close the internal partition doors - at the moment .

 

The internal doors are in a frame which is fixed to the outer panels – yes, Spacechick I think you're correct they had to go in before the outer panels were complete. It’s such a great idea for larger runs to be able to split it into two; Tony said he thought I was the 3rd he'd done with this idea.

[Kit]

super duper!!

[Lewis]

Looks great

[MummyHen]

A few modifications have been made to my WIR setup

 

The Eglu Classic has been attached via the enpekt method (great idea btw) but placed on a low table.

 

 

 

The feeding stations have been redone using some cube run skirt - which is just the right size

 

And I added a shelf with a box - but not sure if the box will stay depends on usage.
