3.6m Omlet Chicken Run for sale, Brand New in Boxes, Milton Keynes (MK19)

We were brave enough to let the girls officially out of their run today. They weren't too impressed with the mud or the wind at first but soon settled down for a scratch around and tea al fresco. No escapees thankgoodness, thanks to the Omlet netting. A couple of pics:-

What lovely girls . Glad it went well .

They're lovely. Have you handled them yet? What do you think of your Omlet netting, have you electrified it?

[Sageandonion]

Thank you both

 

CHM - I can pick up Funky Chicken fairly easily, Peckers is getting bolder, I managed to grab her yesterday, can't get hold of aloof Luna at all. Really pleased with the Omlet netting, OH secured it with tent pegs today, it's not electrified as we'll only let them out when one of us is around. The kids were on hen and bunny watch in the garden today, whilst playing on the trampoline.

 

how are your little ladies doing, have you been baking with the eggs yet ?

Are the tent pegs needed? I'm only asking as I may be buying some netting. But I'm feeling a little guilty thinking about spending more money yet again. We'll be picking up our three for the first time tomorrow, we need to check on Snowy anyway as she's sneezing.

 

The first egg was fried (and shared ), the next two were scrambled, the fourth my mother had boiled. I now have four on my skelter ( ). I'm meant to be saving four for my cousin but the is out first so might have it poached for tomorrow's breakfast. You just wait til you get an egg - you will be so excited!

[Sageandonion]

Not sure how necessary the tent pegs are but OH feels happier that the bottom of the netting is pinned to the ground. The tent pegs were 1/2 price in Millets, 20 pegs for £4, not sure whether that's good or bad but it's a drop in the ocean compared to what we've spent already . Think our dog was a cheaper purchase all round!!

 

Congratulations on your egg count that's very impressive, think you should save the for yourself. Happy Chook Cuddling tomorrow, hope Snowy gets over her sneezing quickly.

[chestnutmare]

Yep, I think you're right. The first should be mine. Tomorrow's breakfast is now sorted.

 

It's amaizng how it all adds up £. But they're worth it aren't they? *sigh* I can see me ordering netting and tent pegs very soon.
