This should keep the rats out !

Finished photos tomorrow, worn out now 🙄

Completed WIR - rain caught us out so painting not finished but thrilled with the result 😀

Lucky little ladies looking very dry and comfy!

Very envious.  And very rat proof!  Wish I'd gone for a traditional WIR rather than the Omlet one.  It's the only Omlet product that has disappointed me.

Well ah do declare, that is a splendid WIR, Scarlett!  Roofing is a good idea, better than the corrugated plastic over the Cube which caught the wind sometimes and was tied on by bungee ropes!  My temporary WIR is my greenhouse.  Cube run or big greenhouse - mine are still sulking!  Your girls look delighted!

Ooooo Scarlet - that looks brilliant!  Did you lift the run onto battens to stop the rain seeping underneath and soaking the aubiose??  That's what we're going to do - getting fed up of continually changing the aubiose when it rains!! :-0

No more new reports for 3 weeks - must be getting to the end now.

That looks GREAT 

Going to have to be one very determined rat to get into there.

We have conquered ratty too by covering my Omlet run with 1cm square wire.

Your girls look very cosy in the run too - I hope they have rewarded you with lots of yummy eggs

That looks brilliant - well done

Looks excellent! It being raised up will keep the base bedding nice and dry too. 

Out of curiosity how long/wide is it? We have a 16ft x 4.5ft run and a rescue told us that was only suitable for 3 hens! But I notice you have quite a few hens in and it seems really spacious still.

I'm liking the gone with the wind accent 😀It gets really windy here as we're in a valley, the corrugated roof blew off and was never seen again 😂 

 

ive got 15 chooks in there, the cockerels sleep on a perch so plenty of room in the cube. We're putting shiplap up this weekend - halfway to keep it dry. The roof is felt - husband is a roofer so stays watertight. The run is 12 x 6 ft and they have loads of room (they fr in the day) and an omlet perch which they love ❤️ 

I have a lot of eggs 🙄🙄 but they sell from the gate luckily. Thanks for all the lovely comments 😍

My freeloaders are now on holiday with Mostin.  They are still sulking because it's still rubbish weather here!  I think they have a nice cosy pink eglu - which apparently they've been resting in for most of the day so far.  Mostin also has a nice big run - I'm learning lots for the future with y'all.
