Neighbour making formal noise complaint.

Hi All, I've finally got round to loading pictures of our new cube, girlies and run.

Let me know what you think

 

1) Omlet van

 

 

2) Ta-tar! Assembled Cube

 

 

3) Here are the 'Omlet Girls' - Firstly Sandy ()

 

 

4) Second - Emily ()

 

 

5) Third - Mrs Puff ()

 

 

6) Now the rest of the Girlies - Girtie (Bluebell), Banjo & Juno (Columbines) and lovely Emily Jackson (Amber Lee)

 

 

 

 

Finally, here's the external run to the right of the cube I've netted using Omlet's netting, pegged down every 2 squares to reduce the possiblity of foxes digging in. I work from home so I only let the girls out into this bit when I'm home.

 

 

I have officially become 'mad chicken women' . I love the girls, pecking order still being sorted out but hoping all will settle down shortly. Touch wood, so far so good. I just love them

What gorgeous girlies, and a fabulous run area for them as well! I'm sure you will get many hours of pleasure from them!

Isn't she just......she was the extra one I accidently 'acquired'. One two many chicks had been loaded up into the van in the morning but I just couldn't send her back on her own, so I offered to purchase her in addition, on the spot. But she is lovely and eating out of my hand from day 1

 

Emily Jackson ( is the tamest - she's like's being hand fed, loves being stroked whilst eating and beginning to 'crouch' as if to say, 'gaw on, pick me up then'!

Thanks everyone, I'm glad you like them.

 

I have couple of questions about my set up-

 

1) The edged area immediately upon which the cube has been placed, I've laid bark chips down not realising it's very different to wood chips. Should I redo this and what's wrong with using bark chips?

 

2) Has anyone know a fox to 'climb' the netting, is it possible? I know from reading postings on the club forum they can scale 11ft 'solid' structures, what about netting. I am worried now about them being out in the external run following an increase in postings regarding fox attacks?

 

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Christine.

I have read the netting is to keep chickens in, not preditors out. My cat has walked on the netting and with the bendy poles folded it down and walked in, so I am sure a fox would sort it out eventually.

They're all gorgeous. And their markings are amazing....beautiful

 

Whoever said the world is a bad place....can't be with chickens in it
