Cube Mark One Run

[Chickybocker Glory]

I have used two plastic takeaway tub lids with a slot cut in the middle at one end on each, then secured each one to the Cube run using Omlet run clips, so that they sit nicely over the top of each section of the superglug. This stops my girls perching on it too! It's really easy to remove and refit the superglug underneath the new lids.

 

You could use any piece of plastic that was big enough to fit right across both sections, of course. I am mean with my dosh and like to reuse stuff.

Does anyone have any other better ideas? This seems to work but there must be better ways out there? Surely...

Thats sounds clever and as good as any idea

 

Another I saw was a flap on currugated plastic that was wired to the run and covered the top of the superglug in a concave manner, you could just flip it up to refill the glug

That's a great idea too!

I have done what Redwing suggested but with one of those multicoloured chopping sheets - you know the ones where you have one for each food type. They had got a bit roughed up and were being replaced so I cut one in half, burned two holes with a red hot nail and clipped it over the Glug with zip ties. Works a treat.

Must say girls actually prefer their bucket water container - lies on its side and forms a trough that they can't perch on!!

Hey, anything ours hens prefer is good!
