Feeding advice for bantams (one broody, one moulting)

[chocolateeclaire]

Thanks for all your encouragement re assembling my CUBE.

Did it in the drizzle in 1 1/2 hours!!

Had the help of my god daughter who chose to forgo her A level revision!!!!

Went to the Devonshire Traditional Breeds Centre today - wonderful place didnt make me feel stupid for wanting just 4 pretty looking hens!!

One place on the Omlet list implied that I had more money than sense if I had brough one of the Omlet hen houses!!!!

Perhaps you should tell Omlet about their reaction to your cube, since they are Omlet recommended breeders?

Especially if Omlet are advertising for them!

It's quite rude of them to say that to a potential customer aswell

[Ain't Nobody Here]

I agree, they've got a cheek dissing Omlet products .

 

So, Chocolateeclaire, where are the photos of the cube and your new hens ?

[Krysia]

yes tell omlet and get them struck off the list!

 

I don;t need to preach here about the fabulousness of omlet products! My 1st argument is always but I don't need to treat it every year and if I treat wood with 2 -3 coats what do I do with my chickens at the time. plus all the usual stuff about the red mite cleaning looking cool the list as you know goes on forever

[Guest]

yes it baffles me as to why people complain about omlet ,....it means more customers buying chickens so they should all be happy that Omlet has increased chicken keeping for a lot of folks!

And increased their business

Have hundreds of photos already!!!

When I've worked out how to send them (am still trying to attach a signature!) I will put them on line!

[Calum]

Cool. How old are they laying yet

[Plum]

Congratulations

 

If Omlet took them off the list it would just make it more difficult for people to find the chickens they want so I think it's better to just either argue the good points or not tell them. After all everyone can have an opinion, even if it's the wrong one.

Only 10 weeks - so no egg expectations yet!!

That bit about the breeder just makes me laugh, because today at the Bath and West show there was another stand selling the 'Keeping Chickens' book by Johannes, which also sold wooden coops...now if any of you have this book you'll definitely know that it coverts the eglu!!!
