Patridge bantam chicken poorly foot?

[Jules.]

Mine hasn't turned up yet- it is to be my Mothering Sunday present

Having said that, we only posted the cheque 1st class Wednesday, & with Poet's snail mail posting on here I didn't really hold out too much hope that it would have arrived by today.

I'll post piccies when it does finally arrive

[freddie]

I've posted off everyones as soon as the chq has arrived; so hopefully they've all got to where they're going!

I posted 4 more off today, as the P.O. closes on Sat before the post arrives;

I've just taken the next lot; INCLUDING THE BANTAM SIZE !!!! to the coating Co, so please spread the word; and I was introduced to some pekin bantams yesterday, so now I can access lots of tiny eggs!!

They(the hens ) are very pretty, but the eggs are tiny, like marbles!!Tell me nothing lays them smaller!??

!Tell me nothing lays them smaller!??

Quail?

[Helen&Lee]

Awww...must go back in time and re-learn the lesson regarding the Omlet forum - Beware the Omlet Effect - and never, never look at any post tempting you to buy things

 

Because now I've looked I need one!

 

Helen

 

Definately avoiding the Roomba post because I think I need one of those too

Received mine this morning Great service, thank you!

 

I know I don't have any 'proper' eggs to put in yet but they will be displayed in style when I do.

[Jules.]

The postman left a note to say there is a parcel waiting for us at the sorting office

 

but we can only go to get in on Wednwesday

[freddie]

It's Wednesday tomorrow!!

Can anyone tell us if they have seen the skelter on the T.V.?

One of my school meals ladies says she did but cant remember who. She thinks Jamie(???) but I guess she was dreaming as I'm sure someone would have mentioned it by now.

Any ideas?

[The Dogmother]

Glad to hear that the bantam skelters are nearly done Freddie - let me know about sending a cheque.

[feemcg]

Krysia has a lettter published in Practical Poultry mag - thanking Kay and Phil for their product and service.

 

Well done everyone

[Krysia]

I know I just opened my copy and was thrilled.

I have never had anything published before.

 

 

Ok so its no great literary works but its still in print!

[Jules.]

Well done Krysia!

 

I've been to the sorting office & picked mine up, I have taken photos which I will post but I wanted to tell you all first

 

I love the way it was packaged with shredded paper & a luggage tag telling me not to roll the eggs from the top or else they will crack ( hand drawn, too!)

[Cinnamon]

Someone PLEASE post a piccy of the Bantam one when you get it for me

I am seriously considering getting one for Cleo for Christmas

The Bants are her hens & I am sure she would love her own Skelter (especially if it was pink!)

[Jules.]

Here's mine. The eggs are a bit pooey because when we are out all day the hens go to bed & put muddy feet all over them.

 

But the question is, which way should I display it?

I prefer the photo 3 way, but what do you think?

 

Photo 1

Photo 2

Photo 3

[Cinnamon]

I like number 2 best - they will be easiest to get off the rack in order that way too

[Egluntyne]

Number 2. Definitely.

 

Listen to us....have we completely lost the plot!

[Laura & CTB]

Number 2. Definitely.

 

Listen to us....have we completely lost the plot!

 

 

Number 2 !! (I never had a plot to start with)

[Krysia]

I use mine as in option 1

 

option 3 wouls look nice but a pain to get the eggs off!

[freddie]

FANTASTIC PHOTOS. If only I knew how

Krysia, you are a star' and all others, thanks. The Bantam ones are on their way, going to painters tomorrow.

Just got in from work(the day job)cooking for 2 schools and transporting one lot of roast dinners in the car to the second one! Fun, Now I'm needing the wine! No chance, haven't got the kids back from school yet, or done our dinner!

Yes, I do get exhausted, but when I go on the forum, and catch all the good stuff, it's a tonic. Sorry I cant join in so much, busy boxing... hope you are all using the shredded paper for nesting , and doing the footprint thing!!

[Jules.]

Freddie I thought that the egg skelter looked like it had been posted in it's own little nest

[freddie]

ahhhh! that's sweet!!

[Egluntyne]

FANTASTIC PHOTOS. If only I knew how

 

Freddie....I gave these instructions to "dogs and chickens" and it worked for her.

 

 

1. Upload your pics to your computer and make a note of the file name.

 

2. Open a **Photobucket** account. Dead easy and free!

 

3. Upload pics from your computer by clicking "browse" This is where remembering the file name comes in handy.

 

4. Photobucket will give you an [*img] code (minus asterisk) for each picture. Copy that and paste here.

 

5.You can make the pics a bit smaller by going into "edit" and following the instructions.

[Jules.]

I have problems with photobucket with resizing my pictures- I have an eMac.

I use Flickr.

see the guide here http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17373&highlight=flickr

It's great for a technonumpty like me

[MedusA]

I succumbed!!!!!!

 

Cheque went in the post today. I am a weak-minded individual and cannot resist temptation

[ajm200]

I've ordered mine but I'm not sure what I'll tell my husband as we haven't got our chickens yet. I couldn't resist
