speckledsussex Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Unfortunately, one of my hens has died, leaving two distraught friends in the Eglu cube, one of whom is getting on in years. I know from experience that it is not easy to introduce new hens, and I have used a wooden run in the past, which has just about disintegrated now. Since we only use it once ever couple of years or so, I wondered if anyone has a house+run which might be suitable for two new guys to use until they can be integrated into the cube (hopefully a month, but you can never count your chickens...). I can't be the only one who has this problem! We're near Newbury in Berkshire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I have a spare classic and run which I’ve lent to a friend while he builds a new WIR. However I’ll check and see if he’s finished with it. We’re only 20 mins from Newbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speckledsussex Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Wow! That would be unbelievably kind of you - I would, of course, be happy to collect from you, and to 'rent'. There's no immediate rush, as I have to source the new hens, and that is usually a bit harder at this time of year. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia W Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 He’s still using it, but expects to have new housing soon. Keep me posted. If it’s free you’re welcome to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
