Ms Tilytinkle Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Hi Space chick, Hmm sorry I'm not going to be be of any help this time round, but I've bookmarked the site as we would love to rescue next time . We didnt have the confidence first time round . So although we will have to wait a little while, as our girlies are all happy & settled in their little flock, we're definitely interested in rescuing next time. Many Thanks for posting the info.

dippy bird Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I haven't heard anything back yet, how long does it normally take before they let you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky1 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 A very worthwhile post Spacechick. They don't cover my neck of the woods but I've just registered with http://www.fizzywitch.com/CrannDair/index.html Might be of interest to anyone else in Ireland.

Space Chick Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 I haven't heard anything back yet, how long does it normally take before they let you know? I'd give it a few days yet, they are probably waiting until Thursday when the date closes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_m Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I would love to help. Can I fit two more into my eglu with 2 girls in already? Dont want to say yes then cramm them in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoopsie Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I'm adding two to the two already in my eglu - they should fit well adn according to Omlet that's the maximum recommended ? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippy bird Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Patients isn't one of my strong points I have measured up my spare run and am now going to search for a new coop to go with it (While my OH is at work!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 4 will fit fine in an Eglu, its the run space that is the issue. So it depends on whether you have the standard Eglu run or whether you have some extensions or a walk in run, also whether you free range them aswell.

Egluntyne Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I applied yesterday and heard back within 2 hours! Impressive. The collection point is just a few miles away, in High Peak. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I'm adding two to the two already in my eglu - they should fit well adn according to Omlet that's the maximum recommended ? ? I would love to help. Can I fit two more into my eglu with 2 girls in already? Dont want to say yes then cramm them in Have you any extra housing to put them in for a few weeks whilst they regain their strength & health? I wouldn't recommend putting newly retired laydees in with healthy girls until they are full "up to speed". All the usual "rules" and suggestions apply when introducing ex-batts to an existing flock Sorry SC, I'm up to capacity housewise, so no new big girls for me Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippy bird Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I still haven't heard back, getting worried now....Just bought a new coop especially for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Have you checked that their email hasn't gone into your junk box? I'd contact them again if it hasn't, as today is the 'closing date'. I got instructions with my email re paying by paypal, which confirms the arrangement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippy bird Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Have e-mailed again to check, but still nothing,I donated by pay-pal the other day as well.I also sent an email before donating to check about donating as I hadn't donated when I sent the application form - I got no reply to that either, so I donated just in case!

dippy bird Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 have heard back at last and been told not to panic! Hurrah! New coop being delivered on Monday (3rd one in 4 months!), so now to get some more feeders etc. Will be needing loads of advice for looking after them and making them happy.

Space Chick Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Well done all, I felt bad as I couldn't take some this time (as I may be getting some other girls on Saturday) but it makes me really pleased that some of you are able to rescue some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoopsie Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I'm assuming that they will make contact nearer the time to tell me where and when I collect my new girls - so far i've had nothing apart from the original email and donation details.
