All Activity

Good morning. I kept chickens years ago, but as we have close neighbours, I am reluctant to do so again due to the noise. We are hoping to move in the next few years to somewhere more semirural, with the option of chickens/ducks, or if I am lucky enough to get more space (though probably not) even Pygmy goats. I love birds, but as chickens and aviary birds are off the table for now, I’ve been looking at quail, but have some questions. Are female Japanese quail as quiet as my limited research suggests? Can they be somewhat friendly with interaction? Are they hardy? Do they need any special housing provisions in winter? Any other info to help me decide greatly received. Positive and negative.

Does anyone know of any chicken boarders in the Cumbria/Scottish Borders/Northumberland areas?

Based in Andover, Hampshire. An happy to post at your cost. Also I am travelling up to Nilorthimberkand on Friday night .

afternoon one & All i wonder if anyone has any ideas for my older cat, about 2 years ago he started poohing in unwanted areas, top of landing, front room mat, bathroom floor. it was only very rarely & though he was getting caught short after waking from a nap. it has slowly got worse. he now seems to only pooh everywhere in the house. on the stairs, hallways, kitchen floor, beds, any mats. never in a litter tray. he is only feed dried food & exactly the same make / flavour since i have had him ( 5years ) so thankfully the output is solid to clear up. he has 2 litter trays one up stairs, one down stairs. he will only wee in the litter trays. these are cleared nearly the moment he has been if home , but cleaned the moment home if been out. the carpeted areas are cleaned with a pet shampoo so as not to have the smell to think this is now the toilet, solid floors are washed. been to the vet & told he is getting old & he is likely to be not reading the massages about needing the loo, but it is only pooh he messes with & thought it would be both Pooh & Wee if that was the case.? Can anyone come up with any ideas how i can help him go in his litter trays & not all around the house. he is a house cat, hates being outside, but this was his choice not mine as have a cat flap if he wanted. thank you

Hello we are looking for a run to fit our MK1 cube. We are in the Gloucestershire area but happy to travel- within reason. Thank you!

Looking for an eglu with run suitable for 2 rabbits

PRICE REDUCED FOR QUICK SALE - £75 EACH

if you guys are still looking for some live calci worms in the UK, a new company has started selling them for chickens Syntects. They have them on subscription and one of purchase

I have 5 auto doors with lights for sale. They are all still in boxes, brand new, just never got round to fitting them. New cost is £225 on Omlet site. £100 each no offers unless you are taking all 5.

I think you need to take the whole thing out and go back to a manual door. Then send it back to Omlet for a refund. There are so many posts about faulty electronic doors and this probably doesn't scratch the surface of how many are failing. They are simply not fit to be sold.

My door is now stuck in low power mode for 24 hours randomly in the middle the day. I can’t access the console or app at all, anyone else had this issue?

Hello We have 2 Pekin Bantam hens that need a new home as we’re moving house. 1 Partridge Pekin 3 years old and 1 Buff Pekin 6 years old. They’re lovely healthy birds. We’re in Ingatestone, I can deliver locally if anyone could give them a good home. Thanks

I’ve had the auto door for the go up Eglu for a few days now and so far it’s consistently one problem after another. Firstly the battery draining, gone through 4 sets of batteries and now the until had gone to sleep. It’s stuck in power saving mode for the next 24 hours according to the app. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi all, We no longer have chickens and I am selling my Eglu chicken coop MK2 and automated door. For collection in Wokingham Berkshire. Details are on EBay https://ebay.us/m/ouHw35

I’m having the same issue. The new batteries don’t even last 12 hours and once the batteries die you can’t open the door. This is a major design flaw. The only option is to open the battery pack with the 4 screws and replace the batteries before you have the option to let your chickens out. This is the 3rd morning in the cold, wet, dark, I’m outside trying to unscrew the battery pack!

We have the same setup, 12v 6600mAh battery. Would be great to have the “smart” energy settings available in this case even if it’s powered by 12v but not connected to the net.

In my experience frequent foamy yellow poo is caused by 'hair worms'. They are tiny, so won't be seen. We had an Orpington with exactly the same condition. She did a huge watery poo once and I could see it moving. On close inspection (magnifying glass) it was full of tiny worms writhing about.

Hi Are you still looking for this? I have cube and walk in run with skirts available- based in Cheshire. Thanks

I have a large bolster bed spare cover in plum colour. Used for one week then changed to a different type of bed. It has been washed and is ready for its new home. Price is £40 plus postage

Hi all, im looking for a 2nd hand pro or cube please if anyone has one for sale at a reasonable price in the North East.

Hello all, I have a buff orpington who has had runny poo since I bought her at 7 weeks. She's otherwise very healthy and a chunky girl who loves to eat. But her poo is regularly foamy yellow and occasionally has a small amount of blood. Could this be cocci and do people recommend harkers for this? I have a mixture of lavender pekins and buff orpingtons and it's just the two orpingtons that have runny poo. She hasn't been wormed yet because she was too young when I got her and no signs of anything in the poo.

Have you heard anything new about this.. still waiting 5years later?

Dear Omlet, Why oh why can't I control the light as I wish? Would love to be able to control the light with more options. For example, since I'm living in the currently cold and dark Nordics, I'd love to be able to have the light turned on when the door is open, and turned off 10mins after the door is closed. Best regards /Anders

Can anyone help please, I’ve bought a 4x3 cat enclosure with a porch, had 16 items delivered yesterday and to be honest I haven’t got a clue what to do or where to start? . Thanks
