Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I'm sure there's a few Omleteers in Essex. How about doing a new thread with "Can anyone lend me an eglu run? (Chelmsford, Essex)" in the title? Or summat like that . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Bit of an update from me! Husband has said no to a walk-in run BUT YES to a CUBE!!! Hee hee hee. So I have gone from a eglu and small run to a cube and 2metre run in a day. We have just been looking at linkabord as would like this round the edge of the cube. He said I can ring tomorrow to book the slot for delivery. Now I am over-excited! Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One_Box Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 When I owned an Eglu I located it on the lawn to start off with and secured the run skirt with ordinary plastic tent pegs. This gave a very secure structure and due to the Omlet design, a very fox resistant run. Just seen your latest post mazzyc as I'm writing this, well done - I'm sure you will not be disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Congratulations, mazzyc! Just one more thing. What colour cube are you ordering? It's so exciting, waiting for your first Omlet delivery. I can still remember the anticipation. I am seriously thinking of trading in my and for a as that would mean space for more hens and (hopefully) less cleaning!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Husband has said no to a walk-in run BUT YES to a CUBE!!! Now I am over-excited! You were pretty excited even before this . Your OH sounds like a pushover . You'll be able to get more chickens, extra run extensions, anything you like at this rate . Congratulations, btw, what colour are you choosing ?

fluffyknickers Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 Gone for purple - husband doesnt know that yet though. Initially i said he could choose but then i just ordered it! I chose 2 ginger ones and one black one - I think three is enough considering I am a total novice and thats interesting about introducing more being difficult so think I will just stick with my three little ladies! Everyone is so nice on here and helpful and invites to visit are so kind. I have got in my head about most things like what to border it with,what bedding to use - just now need to see what is best to anchor the run skirt down with (the yellow tent pegs look good) and what i should cover it with to protect from the rain. Going to go and measure inthe garden now to prepare husband as think he doesnt realise how big it is - hee hee hee! Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
