tara Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 going to order a cube but wanted to know why why the ladder dose not reach the floor dose any body know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallina Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I don't know the correct answer, but here are several reasons why I think is a good thing: It doesn't get in the way of the hens during the day and they can walk under it It encourages them to do a bit of jumping and wing-flapping (they don't get much exercise in the run) It doesn't drag on the ground or get caught when you push the run around on its wheels It looks neater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starboyhull Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 It will probably help keep pests out like mice and rats wont it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniMinx Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 We've just had ours delivered and we were told that its to give them more room in the run to get around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 ours crouch down to sneak under the ladder, it looks quite sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniMinx Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 ours do that too - only because they dig so much they've created a large mound near the ladder so they kep running out of space to squeeze through - we keep raking it in the morning but its a losing battle i'm afraid!

BeckyBoo Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Does it also make it easier to move it about - the cube is supposed to be moveable but the ladder would catch on the ground if it touched the ground? I say that but ours stays where it is. Mrs Bertie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
