Omlet Smart Autodoor - New in box

[Rabbieboy]

I just had a call from Jan at Omlet to say that my Cube and 2 chooks will be delivered tomorrow at 2.30pm.

[Guest]

Great news, bet you can't wait

[Rabbieboy]

Its a pity I won't be home for anther 1 1/2 weeks to see it. My partner is excited enough but the neighbour over the road is like a little kid, she is going to be the "Godmother" to one of the chooks and we are letting her give her new girl a name.

[Guest]

You'll have to convince your neighbour to get a cube as well

[Jules.]

Ooooh, I am

 

 

Have a great time with your new toy!

[craftyhunnypie]

your neighbour will come in very handy as a chook sitter - treat her nicely!!!!

 

You will love your cube - oh I'm sooooo

How exciting, but how awful not to get to see it for a week! What colour are you getting, and what type of chooks? I can't speak highly enough of the cube although I've nothing to compare it to, I hope the rain stays away and pictures please!!

It a green cube, I tried to convince my partner to go for orange but as she is the one who will be dealing with it most of the time I thought it best to agree with her, I am happy to go with green. I have a Gingernut Ranger and a Miss Pepperpot being delivered at the same time but when I get home on leave we are going on a chook hunt to find some different breeds. I like Marans and Barred Plymouth Rocks.

 

A friend of mine who lives in Scotland (I'm from Central Scotland originally) has 2 Japanese Quail that he is giving to me for free and I hope to get them to mix with my new lot. My friend has about 15 hens at his Free range pig farm and he kept them together until Mr Fox got 4 of the 6 quails he had. If they can't be mixed together I may have to get an Eglu...

[buffie]

I've got a green one, it's lovely and the girls love it. They see to enjoy going up the ladder. I've let them free range at the bottom of the garden and they have the best of both worlds now. Big house, run and the garden

 

Let us know what you think when it comes

Great news

 

I bet you are so excited you could POP!

[Rabbieboy]

Great news

 

I bet you are so excited you could POP!

 

I just finished called home to tell the OH that it was on the way and my neighbour was in at the time, she is the one about to pop I think. The two of them have the red wine flowing to celebrate. Women and wine, any old excuse.

 

I'll just have to be content withe my free range Shetland hens eggs for a week or so yet.

[feemcg]

Ooh, I'd love a Shetland hen for those lovely green eggs - you should bring one down with you for your new cube

[Rabbieboy]

My new girl are settling in nicely, they both went to bed on there own accord last night.. They look really good.

[Jules.]

Great Pic!

[Egluntyne]

Lovely girls.

 

Have they got names yet?

[Rabbieboy]

Lovely girls.

 

Have they got names yet?

 

No not yet. The neighbour over the road is going be mum to one of them so when she makes up her mind which one she wants we will decide on names. I will be home in 10 days and we plan to go hen hunting for a few more.

[Rabbieboy]

Am I right in saying that the Omlet birds are from Meadowsweet Poultry and if so, what breed are they? Gingernut Ranger looks like a Meadowsweet Ranger but which one is the Miss Pepperpot?

[Sarah 2]

I believe that the Miss Pepperpot is a Bovan Nera. She'll probably end up boss, mine has.

[Rabbieboy]

A quick pic.

 

 

We were going to keep the Cube outside the main garden on a spare bit of grass but the boss has decided that it will now go in the garden. I'll have to take the new fence down to get it in there

 

My partner let our 10 month old Springer Spaniel have a little look at the hens today, she growled, barked, her hackles went up ..... and then she ran away. The hens just carried on as normal.

lovely girls

you must be so proud

[Rabbieboy]

My girlfriend let the dogs say Hello to the chickens today. Molly was a bit interested...

 

while Mabel just gave us "That Look"

 

 

[Couperwife]

 

that is one amazing "look"

 

[Rabbieboy]

We get "That Look" quite often, it's her "Yeah, Whatever" look.
