Sarattie Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I really like the look of the new cube with the door turner on the top rather than at the side. Also the single tray and divide for the next box is a great addition. Im trying to convince myself that I dont need to upgrade to a new Mk2.... I want to extend my Mk1 but now thinking I might go for the Mk2 with WIR instead! Im a bit limited on space so Im hoping itll fit between the fence and my tree that is in the way!! (Dont think Ill be allowed to remove the tree to get the cube in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I suppose it all comes down to money and space. If you have the money, but not the space, then you can't do it and if you have the space, but not the money, then you still can't do it - problem solved I would probably extend what I have originally - these houses are pretty expensive.

Sarattie Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Well, I sold my current cube for a good price, so I went for it and ordered a new one with the 4m run as I wanted! I hope it is a much improved model as they promise, I doubt its much different, the top door turner will be a bonus and the partition for the nesting area.... apart from that, itll be a LOT cleaner The downside is that they are no longer offering their set up service so looks like a 3 day weekend taken up dismantling and re assembling coops on my own! eek! Wish me luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 When I wrote my post yesterday, I wrote that we all deserve a treat, but then I deleted that part of it, thinking I shouldn't encourage you. I'm glad you went for it I hope it works for you and you don't have any problems putting it up. Don't forget some photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Ooh you'll be the first forum person with one. I might have to not look - I definitely can't afford one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kthomson Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I am just staring to keep chickens (get them tomorrow) and bought a Mk2 Cube and walk in run. Having a slight problem with the egg-port door but no a big problem. I was wondering, there is a door to the nest box, when should this door be opened? I suspect in the morning when I let them out and close it when they go to roost. But if I don't ask... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Is it an internal door? If so, then you should close it at night to keep them form sleeping in the nest box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
