Guest Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Not yet - next on my list. Penny gave me a call today. OH took the message whilst I was under the influence - no I am teetotal - it was the effects of the physiotorturist. And I took her some of my home made cakes too!

PurpleHen Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 yep - can't wait for it to arrive - hoping to get 2 more chooks in due course *quickly hides post from SSH* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty e Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 yup. and somewhat stupidly arranged to pick up more chooks,,,before the run arrives. Maybe I could get a babysitter to supervise freeranging on thursday and just PRAY that it arrives on friday as promised...I also ordered a grub and glug as my rather picky chooks aren't keen on drinking from the peanut.

motherhen Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Phil's picking up the run extension from Omlet tomorrow afternoon. Can you get him to have a snoop around and get some info about the new mark 3 eglu - is it a double-decker and how many hens will it hold etc. Plus what colours will it come in?

The Dogmother Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I have seen it in the photographs, but Phil is going to have a snoop when he goes there as it should be a bit more advanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazaddress Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 oh.. how long does it take for delivery normally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHen Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I ordered mine on Friday - so that's only 3 working days - and it was at the very end of Friday, so everyone who has ordered one should have theirs pretty soon I should think.

Hellcat Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Got mine today and put it on. I now have 5 chickens with a HUGE amount of space! Its amazing how much bigger it is with just the one extension. Cooool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty e Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Mine hasn't arrived yet Did other people get theirs in the morning? My Glug and Grub came quite early yesterday morning, and I lurked around until 9.15 today, but then I had to go to work. I hope they're nice and big, as I decided to bite the bulllet and stuff the new girls in with the old ones. No blood yet, but it's a little cosy in the run. The pekins love having the old peanuts closer to the floor though, and the big chooks love the glug. Quite a bit of pecking first thing this morning, but they've settled down. Penny tried to start a fight with the araucana, who looked a bit puzzled and sort of ignored her, and then finally belted her one and pulled out a load of feathers. Penny ran over to Bob to complain, and Bob wandered nonchalantly over to the araucana, bit her bum and ran away with an air of 'I've sorted HER out'. The pekins are so funny.

kazaddress Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 Mines arrived Woooo hooo and the glug well done omlet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Phil picked mine up this afternoon, it's sitting in the middle of the dining room, got some more pellets and some of that there Kobashi stuff too. I doubt that I'll get time this weekend to do the run extension, I will have to sort it out the following week, besides I need to extend the shower curtain cover.

Guest Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I have ordered mine and I was thinking of using the winter or summer cover for the end bit Clare - is that feasible? Or else move up the shower curtain to the top bit and put the winter cover nearer the door? Luckily I got 4 Ikea shower curtains and only used two! Let me know how you get on with the neutraliser powder - I wonder if it is better than the garlic powder. The garlic powder works at the moment.

The Dogmother Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I reckon that might work Kooringa. I am going to play around, might go over to Ikea sometime and pick up another shower curtain and have a go at grafting it onto the one i have. I think the Kobashi stuff is for neutralising acid rather than smell, so the poo can go on regular plants and not burn them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
