good_egg Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 Finishing touches being done! Stools for us and dust bath for them..... And food and water holders Went round ikea with a grub but couldn't find anything appropriate so plumped for these from B&Q - do the job nicely.... http://www.diy.com/nav/fix/hardware/ironmongery/sheet_metal___profile_metal/-specificproducttype-flat_steel/FFA-Concept-Varnished-Cold-Pressed-Steel-Flat-L-1000mm-x-W-40mm-x-T-2mm-9284021?skuId=9293721 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

good_egg Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 Haha, yes Cheeky Chook I'm afraid we totally copied you! Loved all the matching bits! The ikea stools totally match - double checked when carrying a grub round ikea!! I've also got my eye on some green flower pots and window boxes I think also match!

Mrs_B Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Oh!! Your WIR is just perfect, good_egg! I am so pleased that it's all finally here and built Your Cube looks absolutely fantastic in there and all of the accessories look perfect Sorry I haven't been about...the first thing I did when popping on here was to hunt down this thread and now I have a grin on my face!! It's such a gorgeous run! How are you girls liking it? x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
good_egg Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hey Mrs_B - hope everything is ok? Girls and I are loving the run. So pleased. I feel less guilty now there is plenty or room. OH like it too - I came home to find him on a green stool drinking coffee and having a chat! Chooks are quite happy to chat, i think they are getting more cheeky - they love their dust bath and have a sunbathing spot. How is yours?

Mrs_B Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hehe I love the image of your OH drinking his coffee having a chat with the girls - that's fab Everything is going OK here thank you, though I have had some pecking issues with the two pairs as I reintroduced them. The Sussex and Columbine were trying to fight their way from being bottom chicken which resulted in the Sussex having a bare front and bottom and the Columbine a bare back! We're past that now, though they look a bit scruffy!! That's the reason we've held back buying any new chooks for now - we've been waiting for some sort of peace! I have to say though that tidying up and even feeding them everyday in the WIR is SO much easier then before. OH and I hose down the chip and add stalosan to keep it from being poo sick and it's just so easy as there's no bending down The girls love it too, although they are fighting over the nest box every morning and making horrendous noise so we've just bought a 4 set of wooden nest boxes on legs to put outside by the house (let's hope they actually use it!) I plan on being back online much more - I had some bad news so felt a bit sorry for myself (long story short OH and I have been told have IVF asap) but I am in a better mood now after a bit of a break from everything I'm seriously really happy for you that after all the hassle you had over getting permission, that your WIR is everything you wanted x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShellNick Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Good_egg - your WIR is fantastic! Definitely like the idea of the Cotswold Wood Company for my WIR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
good_egg Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Thanks. There is kick board on as well now. The girls like the sheltered bit from the shiplap (special request) and get sun at the front. We love it! Keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
