Richard Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 The fun comes when the Orps get in first. I don't close the door at night, and the Orps like to sit in the entrance looking out during the night. So all three of them try to push head and shoulders into the doorway so as to get the favoured overnight position. If the Buff Sussex or the others are still outside it makes for an amusing session as they try to force their way in past the big girls blocking the way! They always manage! The orps don't have any problems at all getting into the Cube - I haven't tried them in my Mark 1 Eglu as I suspect that might be a bit of a squash through the doorway.

chelsea Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 Great slide show it did make me a bit dizzy though I know! photobucket doesnt give you the option of slowing it down I think with photobucket now its easier to do the slideshow than resizing the photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphorus Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I think with photobucket now its easier to do the slideshow than resizing the photos Know that feeling - internet explorer kept crashing on me everytime I tried to resize Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I think with photobucket now its easier to do the slideshow than resizing the photos If you click on the photo it comes up with a resize button, rather than the edit feature. It takes seconds as you don't have to wait for the red resize screen to load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
