Sooo much pooping

Is there a way to make an entry into the cube run from a side without having to cut the wire?

 

We want to move our cube so the girls can have free access to a run but it would mean butting the front of the cube, with the door removed, up to the fence that will have a hole in (if that makes sense). Its such a good idea but then I realised I wouldnt have access to the cube to put the food and water in

 

Has anyone made a simple alteration without needing to cut anything.

 

Thanks

The door panel will fit on the side

I did all sorts of configurations with my cube run. Here it is with door on side.

Thank you for your help guys.

 

We have finally got round to moving the cube and the girls now have access to their own run which is over 30 metres long.

 

However one girl keeps escaping and seeing that the sides are over 6 foot high we were mystified until we saw her last night practising- cue mission impossible music!

 

Unfortunately we have a freestanding electric meter box in the run which is about waist height and a few feet away from dog kennel- the walk in type... so the little minx is jumping on the meter box to use as a lauch pad onto the roof of dog kennel and then up and over!!!! Now obviously I cant move either dog kennel or meter box any suggestions what could I do to stop, I did consider netting but wonder if shed just get caught up in it

I have finally solved the problem by affixing some of those plastic anti-burglar/anti-cat spikes (this sort of thing) on the apex of the ark so they can't use it as a launch pad for the fence.

Could you do something similar?

 

Maybe you could fix some of these to the electric box?

wing clipping?? that might slow her down a bit...

Ooh, door on side. Sorry to ask a silly question, but did it just fit that way, or did you have to do any adjustments? We have an extension ready to go when we merge ou hens and a side door would be much better as set up looks similar to plums.

Well I took the end panel and replaced a side panel so that bit was straightforward then I put the side panel at the end which left some gaps so I took the skirt from the back of the cube and put them to fill the gaps and used run clips to hold it all together

 

 

My run is on slabs so losing part of the skirt didn't compromise the safety

Thanks plum we are on slabs too, so looks like a plan!
