Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 That looks fabulous . Are you planning on raising your eglu up? I did and it gives much more space (and saves your back when collecting eggs/cleaning out!) (I bet you don't get any trespassers .) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplemaniacs Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 It looks lovely May I ask what you are going to use to raise your eglu. I want to put mine on a platform when I move it into the seperate section of the WIR to introduce my ex batts to the girls. Thanks Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctors girls Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 all i am going to do is build a small table out of my old fence and build it the same height as the old eglu run so they can walk underneath it if you want to know where i got the sign from i am going to post a thread on the chicken section john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaysie86 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Thanks for putting your photos up, I have finally convinced my OH to get one put in our garden and I wanted to find out reviews of Bay animal. It looks swish!'and also we were thinking would possibly have to slab all the area but you have given me ideas! Thanks v much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henergy Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Thanks for putting your photos up, I have finally convinced my OH to get one put in our garden and I wanted to find out reviews of Bay animal. It looks swish!'and also we were thinking would possibly have to slab all the area but you have given me ideas! Thanks v much. Me too - lovely to see things in gardens. You know the mesh that can be seen in your 1st picture. I guess inside you have just covered it with the paving / woodchip. What did you do with the outside overlap ?

doctors girls Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 the wire mesh covers the full floor of the run even though half of it is slabbed the outside skirt part can be pinned down with tent pegs or you can buy garden fabric staples which cost about a fiver for a bag of 20 from wickes or B&Q i have not bothered to cover it as the grass will grow through it hope this helps john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 the grass will grow through it john it most definitely WILL!! when we swopped from 2 eglus to a cube, my 2 eglu runs were absolutely rooted to the ground, it took AGES to be able to move them. a lot of brute force was involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
