jackiepoppies Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 from collecting my lilac cube from England First: congrats to Omlet...delivered a day early Didn't put it together until today in the kitchen cos it was pouring with rain...[told the OH it wouldn't go thru the door ] never mind it's outside now. [Why didn't he build it in the nice ,dry, clean, light barn ] Simple.... he's got a phobia about birds and we've got swallows nesting in there Not that he'd admit thats the reason! Only the roof brackets are missing so will have to make do with bungee straps for the time being. 6 x chooks arriving next Weds I know they're hybrids... think a sort of x between orpington/RIR and something else! I know this sounds very vague, but here you order your chooks at whatever age you want and depending on whether they are for..[you know what].....or for eggs. When you say you want them for eggs they then ask you what colour! [The chooks that is....not the eggs!] You then have a choice of red, black or grey I've ordered 2 of each PS Nice to see the kids and grandkids on trip to UK but weather terrible and 4 x grandkids 3yrs and under all had chickenpox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bexiboo Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I wonder what they will make of your cube in france? Sorry to hear your grandchildren had the pox. It is doing the rounds at my sons schools and nurserys *touchwood* we have avoided it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Congratulations . Can't wait to see photos of our first (I think?) cube francais (e?) . Sorry you had rubbish weather (it presumably reminded you why you moved to France in the first place ) and poorly grandkids . Just re-read your post and noticed it was raining in France too . C'est la vie . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seagazer Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Bien sur! I can't remember what that means or even if its correctly spelt. I should ask my daughter as she is doing a french degree.
