How many chickens in Eglu Cube

[the-real-tinkerbell]

ive just ordered a 12ft extention for my wir

i cant wait for it to arrive ,it will be attached to my current run but seperate for my bantams to live in ,if that makes sense

one run with a door either end and a devider in the middle

i just need a table for the GO to sit on ,any ideas ?

i have no choice but to put it inside as i dont trust it one bit ,im thinking about getting rid and getting another classic

That's some extension I did the same for my bantams - they def prefer their own space and it gives you somewhere just to sit and get to know them without the big girls butting in. I have a camping table from argos for perching but it would probably work to stand an eglu on

[the-real-tinkerbell]

i know it will make my run 24ft long lol its a good job ive got a moosive garden lol

[Lewis]

Was going to say! Big extension

 

Sounds good

 

What about looking in ikea for a table

[beach chick]

sounds fab! have you got a spare garden table knocking around that you could 'sacrifice' ? could be a good opportunity to get yourself a new table and chairs for the patio!!

[Ain't Nobody Here]

I used the frame of an old school table and put a pallet on top . (Helps if you work in a school .)

[scarlettohara]

Mine with extension is 26 ft

 

[the-real-tinkerbell]

lol i will get run envy yours is bigger than mine lol

 

im hating ikea at the mo lol im in the middle of putting a ikea kitchen together lol

[the-real-tinkerbell]

its here and put together i cant believe how big it looks now .i knew it was 24ft but it really does look moooosive lol

i have the cube in one end and the the other but where am i going to put the lol

 

after looking at it im thinking if i put another 12ft either end it would look better or i could just go the full hog and have a 120ft one that goes from one end of the garden to the other lol

[Plum]

speechless

[the-real-tinkerbell]

lol i think i will stick with 24 ft for now lol

ive just ordered the ply for the roof and nearly had a heart attack lol

[scarlettohara]

You'll get used to it Photos please

[the-real-tinkerbell]

i will do as soon as i get the roof on ,its coming on friday

i also need to paint it as at the momnet its 2 different colours as the older part is weathered and the new bit is bright and shiny lol

[Sam]

Blimey that would be huuuuuuuge! Where did you get your ply from? Don't mean to be rude but how much was it? Still deciding on what kind of roof to have

[the-real-tinkerbell]

i got it from a place close to me that i found on ebay its cost me £71 for a 6ft by 24ft run . payed about that for the plastic stuff from wickes and it was a total waste of time and money ,as it just leaks all the time

[Sam]

Woah

You'll have to let us know how you get on with it. I'm swaying towards ply+felt like we have on the garage, that's never leaked... hmm

[the-real-tinkerbell]

its all together and i got the roof on today around a trip to A+E with one of my tiny humans .

i just have the guttering to do then i will put some pics up im well happy with it ,i have sort of curved the roof over a centre support it looks very good if i do say so myself

[j00lz_12366]

that sounds really good, am i right in thinking you got your run from Bay?

 

Hope your littley is doing ok!

[the-real-tinkerbell]

yeah i got it from ebay both the first bit 12x6 and the extention again 12x6 so im now at 24x 6

 

little ones fine thanks he bust his lip at preschool it needs a couple of stitches but they couldnt do it because he has cronic lung diease and has a chest infection at the mo so they cant knock him out ,bit of a nightmare really but just have to keep my fingers crossed that he doesnt keep splitting open

[Sam]

Wow... looking forward to the piccies.. it sounds impressive Did you manage the roof yourself?

 

Hope little one is okay

[j00lz_12366]

OUCH!! I hope hes not hurting too much right now, poor thing!

 

i'm planning on ordering from them to be delivered by the end of March-all needs to be ready by mid april- we have a handy friend who will add a roof etc. Its really handy to know someone who has also used the same company for the run.

 

Hope you have a better day tomorrow!

[the-real-tinkerbell]

yep did it all myself my mum did help with the felt as i just couldnt lift it on my own lol

 

you will only need to order a couple of days before you want it

[Plum]

Well done, you make me feel tired talking about it.

[the-real-tinkerbell]

im at work tomorrow more hospitals lol , but i will take some pics when i get back if its still light enough

[j00lz_12366]

 

you will only need to order a couple of days before you want it

 

lol. maybe for the run to be made and delivered...but then the terrible two are getting their hands on it!!

 

i think it we can have it delivered maybe the last week in march we should be all sorted for the ex batts...heres hoping..!
