Alis girls Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 OK not that exciting but it means I might be getting a new chuck soon. OH had browsed Omlet and spotted a box thing someones OH had made to go on Eglu and set about making his own design. A lot of time and quite a lot of dosh later hes nearly finished. Hes no DIY bod but since redundancy hes been a little busy bee - he announced last week well you can order the new chuck. Set me into panic as havent got enough feeders etc. I wanted a Sussex but prob will settle for another as we arent exactly flush with breeders round here.Herts is the nearest place although I know the farm shop sells - bog standard but such nice girls. Have a egg famine at present as Del is moutling and we are a 1 egg a day house at present. The eggs are a bonus so look forward to a few more.

chicken bark Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I'm intrigued about the box thing? Can you post a photo? Another new hen (or two ideally) is a great treat no matter what breed it is. Perhaps you should get a couple of ex-bats? I guess having the new drinkers/feeders just makes it more real that you are getting another one.

Alis girls Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 I am not sure where on forum I saw it - obviously under chickens I would think and the lady whos husband made it I dont think posts on here anymore. I will ask Mods - there is even a photo of it. I will try and photograph mine when finished - not today as raining. Mods --------------- Help please - where did I see this thingummygigwotsit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
