LittleLau Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Firstly I'd just like to thank people here for their help on the ADVICE ON BREEDS thread as I can no longer post there for unknown reasons. I get an error message, and so far no one has managed to sort the issue. I'm not ignoring you honest. We have so far built a railway sleeper surround, laid concrete slabs, and sealed it with a waterproof concrete paint. We are now ready to fill it with something. I had assumed wood chip, as the run is not covered, but I am wondering if I could cover the run and then use something like aubiose? Would a clear tarp, or clear corrugated plastic keep the 3m Classic run dry enough to use aubiose? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleLau Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Do you use Aubiose in the run Chicken Shack? Is a tarpaulin enough to keep it dry and unsmelly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken shack Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Do you use Aubiose in the run Chicken Shack? Is a tarpaulin enough to keep it dry and unsmelly? Yes it's remarkably dry. I have two batam pekins in there as they were being picked on by the big girls so I had to seperate them. I only put them in there in December, they are on earth only ATM. I am fortunate enough to be able to move it around when I need to but haven't had to yet. If I couldn't I would use wood chip and change it when needed.

Chicken shack Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Not sure what went wrong there but my post shows three times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 There's an echo in here . I had 2 corrugated plastic sheets on my 3m eglu run and that stayed nice and dry. I also attached a plastic border round the bottom edges to keep the bedding in and the water out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
