UKMARCH Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 That sounds great I ask OH about making a run which had hinges so it could be folded up and stored when not in use or for using around the garden but with no roof, look forward to seeing yours when its done. I haven't got a bad back but we've got a temporary divide in our run and its really hard to bend and clean I kept banging my head! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 well this isnt hinged (although i thought it would be) he's a joiner/carpenter so seems to think that putting it together each tme with a few screws will take 30 seconds it does look fast but will we have to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooks Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 pays to have a chippy for a husband it will be fine for the eglu and there plenty more room than the eglu run in there annnnnnd no more bad backs from crawling in!

Cooks Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 as you can see the roof is on the floor two doors so i can seperate if needed and most importantly whrn cleaning out i can put a temp board in and clean one side then shifty the little ones over and clean the other always keeping them safe from slurpy lipped dogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chestnutmare Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 That's a smart WIR. Not so mini... time to expand... maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 well i already have a 12x6 one with a cube so i dont need it any bigger really its just to house the eglu for newbies/youngsters. does seem a shame for it to stay empty for too long tho.

UKMARCH Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 That looks great you will be ready for spring and any new additions, the two doors are a great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted September 24, 2011 Author Share Posted September 24, 2011 Thanks I really love it and must post a picture of it now with it's roof on as it looks so much better. it's also there if I need to help out a friend with holidays etc so that's cool as well. I am thinking speckled Sussex in the spring, I have always wanted one so I must hatch some of those. I loved hatching and found it such a wonderful experience. I am lucky to have some wonderful friends that helped me with this .. You know who you are xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
