help me find a chock coup

[mummysaidno]

I dont want to waste money, like the wooden ones on legs with a run, now thinking an egloo as it seems less hassle but I think they are very ugly. Ive been looking on ebay now really confused, also ex bats on normos? Do ex bats come with more problems?

ours was from ebay - £123 in the end of the auction, as opposed to £400 at the local domestic fowl trust shop. Its small but my girls freerange all day so the size of the 'run' wasn't a consideration for me.

ex-bats don't come with more problems from what I've heard but I've not had personal experience - yet although I intend to get some when we move to somewhere with more land - we elected for non ex-bats because we were complete novices and I was worried I might mess up the poor ex-bats even more than their previous existance did but that's just me!

sometimes on freecycle you can get an old chickenrun but you'd need to give it a really good clean and buy some of the redmite disenfectant ( I think?)

We've got an eglu for our ducks and I think it's great. It's really easy to clean. I haven't had any experience of using another type of coop though, so they might be just as easy to clean!!

our wooden ones ok to clean, you can remove the poop tray and perches but I think the eglu will always be an easier material to get properly clean as wood worries me that's its never 'quite' clean iyswim.
the eglu run is a good size too isn't it?

I inherited an old wooden coop which finally started to get a bit too rotten for use and replaced it with an Eglu cube. Love it! Cleaning is really easy and it's very secure - I did have rats chew into the old wooden one a couple of times. No biggy as I patched it but no need with an Eglu.
