Im currently fitting out my new 6x8 shed and thought i would spend a bit extra this time so it lasts, i came acrossed these http://www.solwayfeeders.com/productsdetail1.asp?STOCK_CODE=1214 on my google search and thought they were pretty good, has anyone got any experince of using these systems?

Thanks

Yes I have and so has Grannie.

Very good though you may need to add straw to give them an idea to start with.

mmm our 12 girls like to share 2 box's wonder if they do any out there.

I like our one, but if you happen to leave the perches down at night, the girls will use them and poop on the flap of the collecting area, and eventually the galvanised wears off.  so ours doesn't look as pristine as it did,   and they only tend to use the bottom 5 boxes.

When we all went to the National a few months back, there is a plastic set too, which I was interested in, but I haven't priced them up yet!

have a look!

Only thing is, they aren't the rolloaways like the Solway ones, and I do like the rollaway bit.  There's a post on here somewhere where Karlooben bought the inserts and made her own rollaways!!

Ah ha, here it is!

Oh by the way, this is my one!  Bit of an outlay, but it was worth it!  

Brian built a new side bit to the shed which sticks out so the next boxes don't intrude on the inside space!
