What makes a chicken coop easy to live with?

[Norsewood]

New to this & keep seeing people mentioning their wirs. I don't seem to have a wir. Should I have one & what would I use it for?

Thoughts that it might be a weasle invasion rotator, a whirling intercom reactor or maybe a winking idiot reflector

Please enlighten one who needs it!

hi there, it is a walk in run for the chickens

[pipistrelle]

It's a Walk In Run. Very handy thing to have!

[Norsewood]

Oh! So, is the cube a wir (for the chickens - I can't even crawl in!)?

Thanks for the help! Seems obvious now.

[stehaggan]

No the WIR is something you can walk in

 

see this thread if this works this is mine:

Wo!Thanks for that link stehaggan - it's a veritable work of art! I've been moving the cube around the garden every evening to give the girls a new patch of lawn to trash every day! I realise that come the winter, this isn't going to work too well so have thought about putting the whole affair onto the patio. What would you recommend for flooring as I've read that bark chips are not the best idea as they get wet & smelly very quickly. I reckon on moving the cube & run once a week in the winter to clean up & replace the flooring but would like to get the plan organised with that sooner rather than later.

Walk-in-run it might be, but these are much more amusing
