Eglu Cube Mk2 with autodoor for sale near Inverness

[Cinnamon]

OK, I have been thinking of extending my little flock & getting a cube

Just thinking about it,mind

 

I wondered if I bought a cube with the extended bigger run do you think I could get so that the extension tacked onto the end of the run,with the original end still on, making in effect a partitioned run to help with the intros?

 

It may mean buying an extra door end panel, but what do you think - would it work???

It would work Sarah, but you'd need to buy an extra end and run door which comes as one panel anyway. Give the girls at Omlet a ring and they'll get back to you with a quote. Oh, and don't forget to get extra run clips.

 

What colour are you 'thinking' about?

ORANGE

 

This is what we have decided.

At the mo we have the big pen for the 5 big hens,& a smaller add on pen attatched to it for the 2 Batams.

The Bantams will be evicted onto an Eglu on the lawn (temporarily), & the new hens put in their cgae,so the all get used to each other.

Then I will hoik them out to sleep with the big girls in the cube at night.

There is only chicken wire between the 2 pens, so I reckon they will get used to each other quickly enough.

 

It will take a bit of juggling around of hens & Eglus, but this way we won't need to buy ANY run with the cube

 

I would like 3 more hens. I am thinking of a couple of blue layers (maybe the Medowsweet one) & a hen that lays dark brown eggs or another White Star
