JohnP Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 You might notice that my signature has changed - we've taken the plunge and ordered a reconditioned (green) Eglu, without run, from Omlet, together with 3 Gingernut Rangers. They're arriving together on the 2nd May so I need to make sure I've got the run built by then! (For the record, I'm using an old greenhouse that lost its glass in a storm a few years ago to make a moveable run. Only issue is that the chickens are arriving with the Eglu, so making it fit the run neatly might be something of a last-minute dash!)

Martin B Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Sounds great! Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Great news John! Im sure the greenhouse run will work out just fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 That sounds great John If you look at Kate's eglu and run on the run inspirations thread, she has the Eglu outside the run and attached firmly to the mesh. Remember to use welded mesh though as foxes can bite through chicken wire Can we see some piccies when you've done it? Not that we're nosey or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Well, Claret is obviously speaking for herself there, as I am very nosey and would love to see pictures of the run It's something we are considering - once we have got the garden a bit more organised......tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Congratulations John. What names will you give to your chickens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 Claret: Yes, I'd spotted that and it's just what I'm planning to do. What makes it easier is that the Eglu seems to be almost exactly the same width as the panels of the greenhouse. And, fortunately, I've got quite a bit of old (but fairly wide) weldmesh lying around! It won't be the prettiest thing, but it should keep Mr Fox out (and chickens in). Egluntine: I don't know about names yet. We'll wait and see until we meet them. (Although one will probably be called Lola, thanks to my daughter.) Thanks everyone - we're looking forward to them arriving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Licken Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Fenny and Clara send squawks - glad you have decided to take the plunge - their outside allotment run now has a roof too (and it will be semi permanent when I attack it with wood and nails at the week end). Good luck and happy chickening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
