Gallina Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 Johannes came just before 10am, and I am now the proud owner of the fifth Cube in the world (yes, I asked what number it was). It took him about an hour and a half to set it up. I put the two new chickens in the old run to settle down quietly: I won't be fussing around that area like I will around the Cube. They are so small, and don't look a bit like the original pair of Omlet hens that I had. I am ashamed to say that I am far more interested in the Cube than I am with my new hens (but they probably like it that way, and I will have time to introduce myself later). I put my three existing chickens in the Cube run to see what they made of it. They are scrabbling round excitedly in the soil, but they haven't noticed the Cube or the ladder yet. I despair. Pictures will follow. It is absolutely wonderful. It is huge, and yet doesn't take up much room on the ground. Being able to walk all around it, however, is very desirable, so in that sense it needs a wider area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Great News, it sounds fantastic, I hope your henslove it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 2 and a half hours to go! Christian, you are very welcome to come over! (Due to arrive at 2.30). Bit of a muck up on our part: We were originally told morning delivery. OH took the morning off work, and got home yesterday to a message saying 2.30 delivery, so OH has to go back to work for this afternoon and I went into a headless spin and tantrums saying "we'll never get it etc". Anyway, my VERY kind headteacher has offered to have my class from 2.15 onwards, so I can bomb home and take delivery. I'm bouncing up and down here........
