Elderly cat breathing difficulties when purring

[Cinnamon]

This is going to be complicated, so bear with me.....

 

I want a cube, but I want it to be out of our hand made hen pen,so I can clean it & collect the eggs without going into the pen.

But the hen pen is in 2 parts - a larger section with my big girls in & a smaller bit attatched for the Bantams.

 

Naturally, the only place for the Cube to go in next to the Bantam half of the pen

It is to the left of the area with the daughters in,in the photo.

The Big hens are in the side with the green Eglu.

 

The Hubby is pretty handy & he reckons he can build a walkway at cube door height through the Bantam pen & into my hen pen. It would be covered in wire to stop any of them actually getting into the Bamtam pen.

 

What do you think - can you teach an old hen new tricks & get her to use a little 'chennel tunnel' to get to the cube?

I'm sure that you can it would be so funny, as I have this image in my head of the bigger chooks clomping across and the bantams doing a "What's that clip clopping across my bridge" kind of look, as in three Billy goats gruff Gosh reading that back I need to get out more

 

I think it would be a very good idea by the way, but wouldn't it make walking around in the bantam run difficult

I don't think it will, as it will be over at the back, so pretty out of the way.

 

The alternative is to move the shed that is on the right of the pen to that area & put the Cube where the shed is now, but The Hubby isn't too keen on that idea (probabaly as its more work )

[Snowy]

Men! Yet he'll happily build an enclosed 'hen walk' over the banties! I'd've though moving the shed would be easier!

[Cinnamon]

Me too Snowy, but as you said 'MEN!'

Give them a problem & let them find the most difficult way to solve it & they are happy for hours

 

I am still negotiating for the shed move.

It will be easier,lok better & I won't be worrying about high rise hens

[theherd123]

By the looks of things the shed move does seem like the best idea

 

I think we should vote on it and then your OH should have a final decision!

I would have said shed move would have been easier in the long run too.

[Lesley]

I would move the shed as well - we moved a shed by putting two lengths of wood underneath and lifting it. It took 4 people but was quite quick to do.

Cube is now ordered, its coming the first week of November

 

I will work on the man in the meantime, & get him to move the shed.

Stoopid men - he is INSISTANT that he wants to make the hen walkway instead

[Egluntyne]

Men!

 

What colour cube?

[Cinnamon]

ORANGE!!!

I had a feeling in my water that it might be.
