HELP aggressive chicken

[AndreaT]

I'm looking at getting a second WIR as permanent home for my injured chook, Fizz. At the moment she is living in the Go with 2m run which is supposed to be for intros/sick bay.

 

I only have a small area, 6 x 8ft, and have been looking for an all in one run/coop for up to about £300 and am really struggling! I'm not planning on adding any other birds at the moment so she would be living in there by herself. They all seem to have either an ok sized house with a small run or a good size run with housing for 10 birds.

 

I did find this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CHICKEN-COOP-HOUSE-RUN-WALK-IN-FULL-HEIGHT-RABBIT-NEW-PISCES-SEVILLE-/160665158976?pt=UK_Pet_Supplies_Poultry&hash=item256863c540#ht_1959wt_1189 which is the style I'm looking for but I just know that this will not last.

 

Anyone have or know of anything which might suit (and which can be delivered to Scotland!) or am I looking for the impossible?

 

Thank you.

Looks good to me but I don't know anything about wooden houses. You can get extensions for most runs.

 

How is Fizz?

Thanks Plum.

 

She seems quite happy, pottering round. I got one of the cats litter trays and made her a dust bath and she loves it She's crouching now too so hopefully she's going to lay soon!

 

I've just found this http://www.pads4pets.co.uk/epages/es112520.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es112520_shop/Products/%22Cambrian%20stand%20run%22 which I think I'm going to get. It's much better quality and British made too. Not sure if it would be big enough for a couple of orpies too though!

I've won a little wooden house & run combo off ebay £70, just got round to assembling it. Seems to be weather tight and the run would be big enough for a couple of chooks. Mine had next day delivery on it too, really pleased with it, given it a further coat of preserve and a spray with some poultry shield for good measure. Evil Edna has already chistened the nest box as Brillo was having a vague attempt at broodiness and wouldn't let her in the .

That sounds very reasonable! Do you have a link to it by any chance?

 

It seems near impossible to find a good quality wooden coop that doesn't need a mortgage to buy it!
