Solitary chicken - need advice

[Omletina Kyckling]

I'm so excited, it's the big show at the NEC this week and I'm going on Wednesday with my pal Debra. I went last year and it was great, but it was an expensive visit, not just due to the garden furniture I bought BUT because it was my first sight of an Eglu and was love at first sight.....

 

The rest is history.....

They have the new plastic roosting bars in all the Eglus and Cubes!!

[moochoo]

It was nice to meet you Diane and the other nameless omleteers. It was a fab day, lots of interest and I had a chance to bend the ears of the unsuspecting public about chickens!

[redhotchick]

Hi, what was it like today?

I'm thinking of going on Saturday. It's not my OH's cup of tea. How can I persuade him?

[moochoo]

It was a massive event, not that I got to see much of it with being on the stand. There were such a wide range of exhibitors and some beautifully prepared stands and gardens.

Go! You'll have a great time. Don't forget to take your flexible friend

Had brilliant time at NEC today...popped across to the Omlet stand and said Hi to Lisaroo...great to put a face to name on here.

Anyone thinking of going just go!! loads to see and enjoy...take plenty money though

Hello, not been on here for ages and ages. Hello to everyone. I went on Wednesday with my Mum. It was a lovely day but quite tiring. Wednesday seems a better day to go. We went on Friday last year and it was much busier.

 

It was lovely to see the Cube and Eglu again. I am going to be getting a Cube soon hopefully.

 

I am not sure who I spoke to but she was very lovely and smiley. I hope Omlet gets a lot of orders from the weekend. It's good because people can see what they look like in real life before buying one.

 

The new roosting bars look good too.

Hi All

 

We were there yesterday! We had a super time, and will definetly go again. I surprised myself with what I do actually know, even though I think I know very little - if that makes sense?! Dave managed to sell one, I didn't sell any although it wasn't through lack of trying.

 

It was great to meet Medusa and Chickenlass who dropped by to say hello. It was a very long and tiring day. We managed to look at a few of the exhibits and pick up a couple of bargains.

 

Here's to the next one!

[moochoo]

Hi Paul, it was lovely to see you at the NEC and so glad you liked the cube. It was my big smily face you saw

[AMO]

I had a great time on the stand yesterday - we didn't stop talking from 9am until the last customer left the stand at 6.30! Having a silent day today to rest my voice cos I get to do it all again tomorrow!

 

The show is huge and well worth the day out if you can get there.

 

It was lovely to see Emma & Hubby & Bump - looking fab

 

The new roosting bars look great too - they are slightly textured so, I assume, will be easy for the hens to grip without being slippy.

[theherd123]

AMO its going to be manic tomorrow so you are right to rest both your voice and your feet!

 

I worked the show today with Els & Clare from Omlet and it was great to work with such wonderful folks!

 

Not as busy as yesterday (went as a visitor) or the Sunday shift last year but we sold about 15 eglus/cubes

 

Guess who i met?!!!

Cooperman & Cooperwife and Redbug

It was great to see you all and put faces to names.

I dread to think what the photos will look like - Cooperman took pics of me in action flogging the Omlet wares! I apologise in advance for putting anyone off their tea - im pregnant and poofee!

 

My feet held out quite well and considering i woke up with puffy ankles they didnt get puffier throughout the day so that was good

[redbug]

What a lovely day was nice to see fellow omleteers. Being able to talk chicken is great.

[Couperwife]

the photos are great Emma you look very professional

 

Kev will put the photos on later

 

we had a lovely day

 

will definitely go back next year

I only took one photo all day! The hard sell action shot was taken by Cathy.

 

It was very nice to meet you Emma, you were exactly like I thought you would be (lovely and swell ), and you did a great job convincing the next generation of hen keepers to take the plunge.

 

We had a lovely chat with Redbug too.

 

Here's some photo's...................

 

 

Me and Cathy,
