[IanT]

What a superb project! Great progress!

[Wiggle39]

That is a lovely WIR, I really wish mine had a roof. The rain sucks the fun out of hen watching!

[scubababe]

This is where were at today.

The door is on and so is most of the roof.

There are some small gaps along the roofline which I will cover with mesh & my trusty staple gun.

Need to put the tarpaulin on the sides as the puddles on the floor is not a good look!

 

Poor hubby had to brace snow/sleet/hailstones & rain to get most of the roof finished yesterday

 

Getting there. Hopefully we will get it finished next weekend. I will fit the side covers this week so we can try and get the floor dry ready for the easi-bed next weekend....and then my girlies

 

My eldest is going to be gutted when the girls are in situ as he's been taking great delight in putting in younger brother into the WIR, closing the door and saying he's now in jail!!

[AndreaT]

Wow, that looks great! It is huge Your girls are very lucky, was a fab space for them.

This is exactly what I want,I have the concrete base already from fil having averies 20 years ago so just need the wir,where did you get yours from scubababe?.I have a 8ftx15ft piece of concrete so hoping can get something at a decent price to fit it?

Cant wait to see the piccys of it finished

[scubababe]

Thanks all for your support. Must admit getting a bit fed up due to the length of time it's taking...but if a jobs worth doing....

I contacted Chris at petpens4u http://www.petpens4u.co.uk/ I gave him the dimensions and he made it fit. basically the panels are 3ft X 6ft so for your space all he would have to do it make a few smaller panels. There's quite a few of his runs on here

[Ain't Nobody Here]

That really looks fabulous and its HUGE .

[Plum]

Amazing, Grand Hotel!

[Henslaved]

WOW! That looks .

[scubababe]

The WIR is now finished (apart from a few tweaks) The base wasn't quite big enough and the WIR overhangs slightly. We will fill the gap when we get some decent weather. The tarpaulin is up & hopefully will do the job of keeping the easi-bed dry.

 

The girls love it & it was soooooo nice being able to sit in there with them. It was great (grinning like a Cheshire cat)

[mollyripkim]

Wow that is fantastic, really lucky girls, you must be so happy all your hard work has paid off - and new girls too.

[Wiggle39]

That looks fantastic, there's certainly lots of room too and getting new girls is so exciting! What are you thinking of getting?

[karlotta]

That looks awesome! What lucky girls. How big is it?

Looking at getting some ex-bats. My girls will go into my classic 7 the ex-bats will have the WIR until they all learn to play nicely

 

That looks awesome! What lucky girls. How big is it?

 

The WIR is 10ft X 14ft. It's awesome. I feel like a dog with two tails Can't help feeling so chuffed with it. I even went and grabbed the guy who has a small holding across the road to come and have a look at it. He's now worried that I'll show it to his wife.....

[Wiggle39]

Ahh, they'll have such a nice life in there, they'll turn into totally pampered hens.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

That looks fabulous . Looking at those girls in the middle of it just shows how HUGE it is .

[Henslaved]

That looks fantastic .

 

I have one of those yellow treat balls, but the girls won't go near it. Rosie pecked it once and then ran away flapping and squawking . She then proceeded to circle it growling .

 

Have fun in your new run .

[scubababe]

Thanxs all,

My girls love the yellow ball...or is it the worms inside

[Cheeky Chooky]

Looks fantastic! You must be soooo

[scubababe]

Looks fantastic! You must be soooo

 

oooo I am except for ..... where we've had so much rain it has leaked under the frame and the easi-bed is soaked with the exception of 1 corner

 

Now need to think of some way stopping the rain seeping under the WIR or am I being unrealistic

 

I suppose under 'normal' circumstances it wouldn't be so bad but we have had torrential rain today

 

It doesn't look like the roof has leaked and the tarpaulin seems to have stood up to the battering it got today

[chicks4erin]

Look fantastic. I'd say you'll have some happy ladies. We just started our WIR yesterday, yours is very inspiring!

[sparkysmum]

Awesome, fantastic, huge, happiness inspiring WIR

[scubababe]
