janeears Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 Today was spent attaching the eglu to a panel of the WIR - and I mean ALL of the day!! I followed the fab example of ENPEKT and it's finally done. It seems very secure and looks neat so am relieved that it's completed. I'll take some photos tomorrow.

Frenchie155 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 The Photos from Jane's hard work - we are both pleased with the extra space the Chickens have - and they really seem to be enjoying it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janeears Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 Hope you all like our WIR. There's still a bit of work to do on the interior but it's nearly there. Our 3 girls seem to be really enjoying it - the perches etc are certainly making their lives more fun!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Wow your eglu joining bit looks really professional Good branches for them. I've got the panels the other way round so am still exporing ways to support them. Girls look happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Do you mind me asking about your forum name? I imagine you as Mrs Spock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janeears Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 Not at all, Plum!! I don't bear a particular resemblence to Spock (phew!!) and it's nothing to do with chooks! My name is Jane and, over the last few years, I've had loads of ear problems. Very boring, unfortunately, but that's the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janeears Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 It's on-going but alot of my hearing has returned. As a teacher, that's pretty vital!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Probably a lot you would be glad not to hear. Seriously that must make things really hard for you at work. Perhaps all the fresh air being out with your girls will help you recover. They are very pretty and quite light on the back feathers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janeears Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 We deliberately asked the farmer that we got them from for three very different birds. He pbviously thought we were completely mad but obliged. Didn't he do well?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy-Deb Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Hi Jane it looks fantastic. Well done to you both for all your hard working putting it all together. Your girls look the picture of health and happiness, can see they like extra room and perches you have for them. Brilliant. I am so pleased its all done now, and you can sit back relax a bit and enjoy watching the girls enjoying all the extra space. xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 It looks very tidy. You should be proud of yourself. Your girls obviously enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janeears Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 Thanks everyone. We're so pleased that our girls now have a better quality of life. Also, it's so easy opening / closing the door, collecting the eggs and cleaning out, now that the eglu is positioned outside the WIR. Our life has improved, too!!

beach chick Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 just been having a browse - red is a great colour for the I think!! just looking at your method of joining it to the run - we were thinking of having a wooden panel with slots cut in it for the so I was just wondering how fiddly you found it to make that join??

janeears Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 It was fiddly but I wanted to do a good job - took a few hours. You'll need pointy, sharp wire-cutters and lots of patience!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
