Nacktschnecken omlet Cube

Hi

 

For reasons explained here

we have decided to divide the 3m run into two halves (using canes tied to the bars) - one chicken in each side

 

I seem to recall that someone else did this (temporarily) when introducing new chickens - but I can't find the thread.

 

I have ordered a new run door and intend to cut a hole in a flat part of the run side and fit door (so chicken can enter/exit and I can put food/water in), using run clips as hinge (as per existing door) and padlock (instead of pin)

 

Anyone got any comments, suggestions ? (I need a solution !)

I think it may have been Lesley-Jean's post that you were thinking of Hazel?

I successfully used this to introduce my two to each other....but they did manage houdini like to get through the canes from time to time...

Thanks - I now have door (OH will cut hole tomorrow) and 20x 4' canes (I plan to put them every 2 grid spacings - holes drilled for string to tie securely at each end) - hopefully that should work.

Its a 3m run so they will each have 1.5 m - which should be OK.

I do need it to be fairly secure because is the pecker gets through, the peckee will have even less space to escape.

 

Wish me luck, H
