New hens won’t go in coop

[Sheena2021]

Hi all 

I wondered if anyone could help. I am awaiting my order of the go up and run however there has been huge  delays in the delivery. Only to find out there is a shipment being held at customs and this has my go ups frame!! 
i wondered if anyone knows if there is a possibility of using the go with the go up run without the frame? Maybe popping the coop on something to lift it up from the ground? Or will it only work with the frame, I believe the run attaches to the frame… desperately want my coop and chooks now 😕 

thanks all

Might turn out very difficult. Unless you manage to find a similar sized frame you could use in the meantime, it still needs to allow you to attach the run bits for the underside.

Alternatively you could have it on the ground and close off the open bit of run above the coop, but this will hardly be predator proof. And will greatly reduce the run size. 

Although it will be hard, I think your best option is to wait for it all to arrive.

Unfortunately I feel this is the option we will have to wait. It is so disappointing we have already waited two months 😕 we will have the omlet fencing for extending the area for run but when we are not in will be in the predator proof run so altho an option to have on the ground as you say won’t be predator proof!

Can I ask if the auto door can be installed to run vertically rather than horizontally please

 

Thanks
