Pecky&Boo Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Hi yet another question from me! I’ve got a mk1 cube with a 3m run. I’m looking at ways of making it bigger - but we have a very small garden and my options are slightly limited. Ideally id like to buy a WIR and attach it to the back of the cube. I’m assuming this is a total non-starter- but I know people on here have managed some very creative adaptations- so I thought I’d ask just in case! Thanks.

Cat tails Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I would rather then put the cube inside the WIR. And then you can attach the cube run to the WIR with the connection kit. Rather than having the Cube on the end of the cube run, it would just be the end panel with the doors you are using right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Cookie used to have her cube outside her run - but her OH is a super duper dab hand with carpentry - he made a cube lid sized opening for those times for cleaning and a lower gap for the door. If only my husband were that skilled! It made cleaning easier rather than wade through wannabe escape artists. Also that works fine for a tucked away corner if you are short on width space. Plus you don't have to wade through treat seeking chickens while squeezing round inside the run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pecky&Boo Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 Thanks both. I’ll have a look into both those ideas. Mum husband and I are both sadly rubbish at DIY - so I’d need to get someone in for your solution Valkyrie! Sounds interesting though! I think I may have found a solution where I can link the WIR to the front door like a normal person. Fingers crosses the measurements work. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Pinterest has a wealth of ideas - this one doesn't have the customised lid gap, but I think to clean they probably wheel it back from the gap. http://chicksinthesuburbs.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmashazzie Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 That looks very sweet. My cube is inside run ,but I would like it as it is in that pic for ease of cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 It could be done by taking the back run panel off but I'm not sure why you'd want to? Would it not be more logical to turn the Cube around so the chickens get out the front and you can still access the back for cleaning etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
