Heidi-Hi Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I have got a lot of materials left from doing the WIR, and has planted the seed with the OH to make me a broody coop / hospital / introduction house. Has anyone else made their own, and if so, what did you do and would you change anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubby wants to make one, so thats going to give him some good ideas. Dont want to purchase a really expensive coop as fingers crossed will only be for short term and all girls can go in the Cube/WIR.
