Roxanne Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 My girls drink from an antique chamber pot which fills with rainwater from the guttering of their run. I think I spoil them! Now there's a thought....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomalexi Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Na, bought it for a fiver! Here's their run: the gutter's on the left, it curves in through the wire mesh to end above the pot, so fresh water for the girls and I only have to top it up if it hasn't rained for a few days.

Richard Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 how cool is that. hens sandwiched between the compost and the greenhouse. Fantastic; that really is the business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tina C Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I can hear my girls pecking away at a metal dog bowl that has been left out in the rain - they must be doing the equivalent of licking the bowl to get the last drops out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomalexi Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Yup, so easy to clean out the coop: the green box in the run contains feed, newspaper, wood shavings etc. so it's all close to hand. There's even electric lighting in the coop itself! I think I may have gone a bit overboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 There's even electric lighting in the coop itself! I think I may have gone a bit overboard Awww come on - there's no need to make the rest of us feel quite so inadequate! I've got a light in my food shed - but the battery ran out several months ago and I haven't got round to fixing it. So I just clang around the food dustbins in the dark! I suppose they have hot and cold running water so that they can shower when they want to as well? Actually I think it looks great - I'm very envious.

The Dogmother Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I'd love a run like that - it's fab! have you posted your picture in the 'run inspiration thread'? http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4703 It'd help others to plan their new runs.
