One Man Banned Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Got home from work today and a very nice delivery man had left a couple of items under the caravan (at least it's on the drive!) and the contents? A bag of Organic Mixed corn, a new grub and glug for it and some of the new Omlet Organic T-Shirts which are really nice! Of course the chickens haven't had a taste of the Tshirts but they have happily tucked into the mixed corn with lots of clucks of approval I really do love my laydees!

Sheilaz Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Glad you found the parcels under the caravan, Andrew. Those are the sort of deliveries that I like too! What colour Grub/glug? Matching or contrasting? PS....and what colour T shirt? Hot Pink to match the shoes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 Both green and not contrasting in the least I'm afraid although when I spoke to Jan to order them we were discussing getting pink for the very same reason! (although Joe would have had plenty of moments had I got Pink! The TShirts are the plain white/cream coloured and the fabric feels really nice Joe mentioned to me that of all the pesticides used in the world about 25% is used on cotton and it's about only 5% of the worlds' crop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I think the organic t-shirts are very creamy colour. My chooks experienced the delights of mixed corn for the first time today. It is always hand to have a hanful when you need to get them back in the run after free-ranging! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine need no encouragement to go to bed but if I want to put them in I call them and Molly ushers them in! ( although if she's not in the mood a couple of grapes ALWAYS do the trick!)

One Man Banned Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share Posted August 29, 2006 Have just emailed the mothership to make one suggestion about the Tshirts. They came wrapped in hideous PLASTIC!! can't have it all though eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Well, I had to go and have a look in the shop! I have 2 T shirts, an old sluge (I mean green) colour, and a hot pink. The latter isn't at all my colour, but certainly gets noticed! So, I think you were wise with the cream, it looks great. Yes, terrible about the pesticides!

The Dogmother Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 The new t shirts really are lovely girls - I bought Rosie one this morning. They are a lovely ecru/calico colour and the fabric feels like a far better quality than the pink ones we have. I agree with Andrew about the plastic bags though - they do rather take the shine off the whole organic thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin B Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Stylish and sustainable this bag is such a good excuse to go shopping! Stow one in your handbag for those spur of the moment purchases ("well it was on offer Dear and it is my birthday next month!") or take several with you when you go to the supermarket and cut down on those 'orrible plastic bags! Taken directly from the Omlet shop. cut down on those 'orrible plastic bags! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Have just emailed the mothership to make one suggestion about the Tshirts. They came wrapped in hideous PLASTIC!! can't have it all though eh? I agree - they should roll then into a tight little roll, & tie a raffia string around,which would be much nicer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
