Poo help please!

[blackgold]

Today with my present money and other money I had saved I have ordered a purple cube. xx so excited, no delivery date as yet but it cant get here soon enough for me xxx It is going to be home for my Faverolles, Orpingtons and new Ex battery hens. I need my kennel run back as we will be having puppies in the new year. I will then have a surplus, old original eglu but will be keeping my lilac eglu. I am having an extended run too . Oh I am so happy xxxx

[Space Chick]

[Donna C]

well done you I'm still saving but things crop up and the money has to go somewhere eles

[Plum]

Sounds like expansion in a big way Congratulations a cube is good news

[chestnutmare]

Oh congratulations! Take lots of pics. I bet you can't wait for it to arrive.

My lovely OH bought me a cube this year which was such a surprise. Last year he got things horribly wrong and bought me a bike (!). He even went to Omlet HQ to collect it two weeks before Xmas and kept it hidden so I had NO idea at all. He's now being referred to as Saint Paul - the first double yolker is definitely his!

Now thats an OH I'd like!! lucky you!

[Wolfie]

Blackgold - yeah, what Jules said - is it worth waiting for the Omlet's 12 days of Christmas sale? I know you say you have already ordered it, but is it worth contacting Omlet and discussing?

 

"Freebies, discounts and some HUGE REDUCTIONS off our biggest and best products .... Dates you really don't want to miss are 25th Rablu, 28th Go, 1st ??? and 5th ???"

It's got to include Cubes. I guess!

I think it'll be the price reduction for January 1st, they said that December 25th and January 1st were the ones to watch!!

[catherinedon]

cube is on offer today £100 off wow what a bargain. I accidenly missed the offer on the roosting bars by ordering them too early

[goodinparts]

Natalie - I'm in Stroud (& my best mate is vicar of Matson)...Do you fancy a chicken meet sometime? Might be fun - specially if you're getting new girls to fill your new cube & need an admiring audience

[blackgold]

It is coming tomorrow and yes I could have got £100 off if I had ordered on new years day but I dont care. I am not rich but just cant wait for it to come. My girlies are going to be in heaven. xxxxx

[blackgold]

It has just arrived. I thought it would come in the daylight but no. Wanted to look at the instructions to put it together but dont want to route through boxes in the dark x

[blackgold]

4 out of 5 of the boxes arrived yesterday evening at 545 pm. One box is still not here and it is the one with all the screws, grub and glug in. My husband has now wasted 2 days holiday and I have wasted 1. I wanted to have it set up and ready for the hens to go in tomorrow. I phoned Omlet and they contacted parcelforce who phoned me at 5.30pm. The said the box was still at the hub and couldnt understand why it wasnt sent. He said perhaps it is lost.!!!!!! I wont get it until Monday at the earliest and then we will be back at work and wont have time or daylight to put it up until next weekend. I am so disappointed and the new girls I now cannot have will now be made into soup.!!!! I really could cry x

[Gertie]

Oh no, so sorry to hear that

 

Could any of the organisers keep those hens for you for the week? They mite have people on the waiting list who could home them instead. What about a dog crate (if you could borrow one). Could you contact a local animal sanctuary & see if they have anything you could borrow for the week. Or maybe there's someone on the rent an eglu list near you?

[blackgold]

I have 2 coops going at the moment and some bullying problems as I have some exbattys that I rescued 3 weeks ago. I wanted to put the new girls some where roomy and safe to have quality of life, not bring them from one smal cage to another. I do have another eglu and run that I could put up but it is all dismantled and time is not available to put it up for one week to take it back down again. Thanks for the suggestions but I am feeling really sad and angry now. I could have waited until newyears day to get the £100 off but didnt and now all my plans are ruined. I have been offered a refund on the delivery charge but that wont give me the wasted time spent waiting for it to arrive all day yesterday and then not being able to get it erected today. To top it all, one of my rescues from 2009 looks a bit peeky tonight as well .

[Gertie]

Oh dear! All rather disappointing then. It is so frustrating that omlet don't do weekend delivery.

 

Hope that your girl is ok & you feel less upset and angry soon.

[blackgold]

The missing box arrived at 8am this morning. The lady from Omlet must have read the riot act to Parcelforce. The new hens can stay loose in the dog yard until their home is put up. My hubby is just walking the dogs and checking on the sheep and then we are going to erect it. He even said if it rains we will put it up in the kitchen and the hens can shelter in the porch anyway. It doesnt have a door . Just hope all the parts are there. Will take some pics later too.

[blackgold]

Forgot to say that Hilda, the peeky looking hen is fine this morning. She has laid an egg and as she is nearly 3 years old and an exbatt to boot, I wish she would 'nt bother. She has tucked into breakfast and her tail is held high. At the moment all the older girls are loose in the garden. We have hens everywhere at the moment lol x

[Gertie]

I am soooo glad it has all worked out for you & you got your missing parts. Looking forward to seeing the pics. Glad to hear Hilda is ok too. Sounds like Henland at the moment!
