2009 Omlet cube and run for sale

[stoice]

Just casually looking through the omlet shop (as you do) and clicked on 'new products'.

How long have they had the grub and glug stand for sale for? Yay for omlet! Very smart.

that does look smart and sturdy but quite pricey, I'm not sure I could afford to have a few 'dotted about'

 

I do like the fact that you can hang the Glug and Grub on opposite sides though

[bronze]

gosh what a price for something thats really rarely needed.

[stoice]

Thats the price for a grub, a glug and the stand. The stand on its own is £15. I think with so many people with WIRs now that it is a good idea (Although a rail from ikea also does the job )

[beach chick]

I think I prefer the make do and mend approach myself, £15 is a lot for a bit of wire!

does anyone else not find the glug that brilliant either? I cannot get inside them to clean them out properly, so mine are covered in algae which I cannot get off for love nor money.

I dont use the Omlet feeders or drinkers any more, the dips at the back made them hard to clean, I use gravity feeders and troughs

[beach chick]

I now have an assortment - a treadle feeder which is fine, except they dont get the hang of the treadle, so it's weighted down (durr!!), a big gravity drinker and a couple of small ones, plus 2 grubs and 3 glugs. I think I will eventually lose the glugs and grubs altogether - the move into the WIR will be the opportunity for a bit of shopping!!

How's the collection going Tasha? have you had to get a second shed for the collection

[Chucky Mama]

Beach chick, how do you get on with your treadle. I have problems with clogging, damp feed and earwigs in mine. It drives me potty. I don't use it at the moment.

[beach chick]

hi chucky mama - well, apart from the fact they are too thick to use the treadle, I find it ok. definitely earwigs get in, but I just choose to look on them as extra protein. so far I have not had a problem with damp feed and it is now inside the WIR so should be ok. however, I think it might be broken, because every time I move it feed drips out the bottom...

I quite like the galvanised steel tho, never seem to get algae or dirt building up on it.

In Sainsburys there is a two pack of basics radiator airers very similar to these http://www.housecharm.co.uk/items/11-0000005206346/BQ-2-pack-Radiator-Airers.html for about £2.50. I'm sure they'd do the job very well.

I cut holes in the wire of my WIR to hold my 2 grubs, wish I

hadn't now

I did the same Jules, and also regretting it. Sorry but I think even £15 is a bit steep for a bit of wire, I may try the radiator airer idea too!

That's a genius idea! Thank you!

I dont use the glug l use a planter trough plastic loads of water easy to clean and only cost £1.00 ish l use the feeders tho but l brought the brackets from ikea.It dose not have to cost loads of £££££££ to keep chickens as long as the run is safe and the hens are happy.

We use the anti tunnel skirting bits from the front and back of the old Omlet cube run, and just wired them onto the new WIR wire, works a treat.
