How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

[Electricbarbarella]

I have a cube + extension with 6 girls. I would really like a couple more, I would get another extension but I dont have anywhere that I coujld keep them for introductions, what do others do as I cant imagine you all have multiple eglus? I keep thinking about getting another hen house but then I think I would like to have some garden left for the children to play in.

We have a medium sized garden.

Is there a way to do it?

Rent an Eglu for the introductions?

 

There is a sticky with a list of people that have ones to rent but I spose it depends on where you live.

Hiya EB I was wondering how you were. Hope all is well with you and your family.

i dont know where you are. I have an Eglu you can borrow if you want.

 

I tend to just bung mine in and treat them all for worms etc

HI EB

 

Wondered where you'd been! Glad all is well. We got our chicks at the same time and were struggling with the rain!!!

 

Strange but we are now looking at getting more girls!!! Obviously after the bug takes hold it's what people do!!!

 

What are you getting???

 

Best of luck

I borrowed a rabbit hutch for my first lot of intros and am hiring an eglu for my second..

I can lend you a pink rabbit Eglu. It can be rigged up with roosting bars.

Hi everyone, eglutine that would be great, I am about to venture into my garden and tear down a fence which is right next to my neighbours fence and I can see no reason why it is there. I measured the gap between the 2 fences and it is 45cm, that is a lot of an eglu isnt it, bit worried about what I may find behind this fence though as apparantly it has been there for 11 years, I am fed up of the weeds growing through it and I cant see why it is there when we could have a bigger garden.

I dont know what I am going to get, I am up and down between ex batts, tgreen layers and hatching at the moment the ex batts are winning.

[Egluntyne]

Let me know when.

Sounds as if you are sorted out, and a spare Eglu is ideal as you can take it slowly. However I managed my recent introduction with an Eglu run only, and a cat-box. I wired the open end of the Eglu run to the side of the Cube, and put the cat-carrier, stuffed inside a cardboard box for a bit more insulation, in there as a combined roost/nest-box.

 

Pippie tucked herself up in the cat-box every night, and then when I got home from work I nipped up the garden, hoicked her out and popped her through the egg-port into the Cube to sleep. (Was she grateful? No!) Then in the morning I retrieved her and put her back in the Eglu run.

 

Just thought I'd mention this as it's another option for anyone who hasn't got access to a spare Eglu. (Penguinmad offered me one but I didn't have time to fetch it.) Good luck with your new girls!

OMG there is a rescue next weekend isnt there.

could I get everything organised by then, would i fit the rablu in the back of a fiesta? dh working really late tonight so probably best to ask him tommorow.

fingers crossed.

[Electricbarbarella]

OMG the man from del monte says yes, eglutine I will pm you tommorow. phone adele, is it adele on Monday.

[Egluntyne]

It should fit in the back of a fiesta. Where there is a will, there is a way.

Ok I am on track, our car has to go in for it's annual wotsits, we should have it back by Wednesday, My mum is going to knit some henny jumpers for the oven readies. what else do i need to think about, where can I get mash from? going to ask in the pet shop in a while but doubtful.

I will want another glug and grub when they do go in wuith the others so I will get that ordered.

I was thinking of tryiong to offload my children as I am guessing it would be an upsetting experience for them.

I am so excited.

My mum is a very good chicken gran and I have promised her free eggs for life in exchange for the jumpers.

[brambles]

Leccy Barbie?? Is it you?????

 

Loving the sound of the chicken jumpers - pics please

[Egluntyne]

Re jumpers for ex batts..have a look at the last post in **this thread**.

[Electricbarbarella]

I am so excited (eggcited)

just done my shopping basket in the shop for all that I need and horse and rider will order me some layers mash in.

so far I have

an extension - that will be cube and 2 extensions for 9 girls (they free range a lot) does that sound OK

chicken tonic

red mite powder

disinfectant

super glug and grub as once they are in the cube they will be needing more food stations.

I am going to pm you as soon as I can remember how eglutine.
