Solitary chicken - need advice

[Jules.]

I was in Wilkinsons this week & spotted some things that I can only describe as "hand spades"- they fit on your hands & look a bit like giant mole paws! They were dead cheap, about £1.99, & I think they are designed to collect fallen leaves easily, but I thought they could be used to s"Ooops, word censored!"e up the aubiose from my run floor quite easily when I change it. I currently use a spade & it involves lots of shovelling & graft, & these mole hands look quite easy to use.

Any one any experience of them before I go out & buy some? They will come in handy this time of year too in the garden.

I saw some of these in the Garden Centre and thought the exact same! I think they might be pretty good for this!

I use these for cleaning out the coop and run. What I do is rake everything towards me with a plastic garden rake and then use the "hands" to pick it all up. Makes the job really easy.

Any pictures so that I know what I'm looking for.

I've got these, originally for picking up leaves, grass etc but you are right, they are perfect for scooping up mucky aubiose.

My kids were watching Tommy Zoom on CBeebies this afternoon, and he was wearing a pair while working in the garden. I had the kids looking at me like I was a loon when i said "oh, look, Tommy's wearing the hand spades from the Omlet board." My 6 year old pointed out that omlettes don't need spades, you can just eat them with a regular fork.

 

I think he thought his mother had completely lost her grip on reality.

im not getting a pair, they look too scary for my liking. I can imagine neighbours faces or a caller to the garden gate if I had them on they would be -
