CatsCube Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Im just about to start making some adaptations to my broodys house ready for chick arrivals, and Im wondering what to do about the run, its a triangle shape with a mesh roof, will this be okay or do I need to put some sort of tarp over this to protect the chicks from the rain?

chuckmum6 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I had the exact same problem and have used a summer shade from my cube it works brilliantly on my Forsham ark. Have used a long bungee at the nest box end it sits around where the wood overlaps. So far it has remained nice and dry inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsCube Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 have you covered the whole thing or just part of it, I worry that by covering the whole thing it stopping them getting much sunlight and fresh air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 No, just cover the top part, when I get a moment I'll take a photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsCube Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Excellent, I have ordered the omlet blue fun shade, it matches the house and its reduced to only £6! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
