Question for Doodle2U about her chicken run

Just wondering if Doodle2U is around to answer a couple of questions about her chicken run? Sorry for posting this here, but I don't have CAT and you don't know me anyway so I thought it might be better here.

Anyway I was thinking of getting the run you mentioned on this thread and I was just wondering if you're pleased with it and are finding it big enough and would still recommend it etc? I only have 2 chickens at the moment, but there's a chance we might get another 2 at some point.

Thanks!

Sorry - not been on Chicken Keepers topic for a couple of weeks.

I love it.

BUT, there is one draw back which I didn't factor in when I ordered it - our Omlet CUBE is too big for the run. You can see from the pics that we've had to put it in sideways and take the ladder off. It's working out OK. The chickens hop up and down the plant pots and I can move the Cube forward enough for cleaning but I wish I'd been a bit sharper when I measured up!

Other than that, it's a good size and we could easily add a few more hens and they'd still have enough space. The cover over the top keeps most of the weather off and all in all, it's a good solution.

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much, that's really helpful. I don't have a Cube, just a wooden house so it sounds like it should be fine for what I want.

Thanks again!
