Warm boot recommendations please

[Gallina]

My new purple Glug arrived today -- it took seven months. I had given up hope to such an extent that I couldn't imagine what was in the parcel. I hadn't even reminded Omlet.

 

The nipples aren't at all like I imagined. I will try it out on the hens at the weekend, as they are very conservative and may not like it.

 

Some of you may remember that I have been pining after organic layers' pellets: my next-door neighbour got a sack of them for me, and my hens won't touch them. I expect it will be the same with the Glug.

[The Dogmother]

Hens are strange things aren't they Gallina?

 

If they still won't take the pellets when they are mixed with your normal feed, then advertise them on here - there are plenty of Oxon Omleteers who I am sure would buy them from you.

I'd offer myself, but have only just started a new sack.

Mine arrived today too but as we don't have a Cube run, I'm not sure we can use it after all . LSH is going to see if he can adapt the hanging bit at the back to fit our smaller mesh.

I've had two.

 

I have emailed to let them know they sent me an extra one. I want to keep it though, as mine are using it, and they're so much better at staying clean. I had to take the old glugs out though, as the new ones are more like hard work = chickens lazy.

You must have ours then!, is it purple by any chance?

We have been waiting 7 MONTHS too, i think a compensatory Grub from Omlet is in order.

 

Kev.

[Aunty e]

Mine are both green. I called up about a month ago to say that I hadn't had it yet, and they sent me one out by return of post. Then I got another one last week, which I think must be the result of them going through the original list of people who were owed them. So maybe yours will come soonest!

[BeckyBoo]

Woohooo! At last Gallina! I had to remind Omlet and to be fair it arrived two days after I rang. I needn't have bothered though, hens won't touch it

I think it might be because the water comes out a bit slowly for their liking! I've played with the new glug at shows, but prefer my bunnny bottle - it's cheaper too!

[feemcg]

I've seen most of mine using it although they have both types - I think they prefer to 'dunk' their beaks if they've been scoffing the mash.

Mine prefer to wipe their beaks on my trousers!

[feemcg]

yes they have been known to wipe beaks on my crocs or the bottom of my trouser legs, dirty bisoms

[Jules.]

Mine have manners- they use the grass or patio!

Must not speed read.

 

You'll never imagine what I thought you had posted at first, Fee.

[feemcg]

must be to do with bottoms or bosoms

Aren't most things on here Fee?

very true.....and pants

I had to take out my old glugs before they started using it. They all do now, although Polly insists on sitting on a perch and drinking from the top. Still, there's a reason she's called Polly - never likes her feet to be on the ground if she can help it.

[Cinnamon]

Yes,I had to remove the old Glugs before they would use the new one.

In fact even if the old one was in there but empty,they would still try to drink from it

[Aunty e]

I filled my spare one with mash. They seem to like it, it gets emptied before the grubs and peanuts. Stoopid birds.

[feemcg]

Perhaps you could teach her to talk too, aunty e
