Guest Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Well whilst watching the GP this afternoon I finally put my new cube together. It took an hour and a half by myself with no run (well James helped - if he hadn't it might not have taken so long!). Then I had to wrestle it out of the house. Both tales are on my blog, complete with step by step piccies http://www.eglu-owner.co.uk Girlies are tucked up in there for the night now and the anti-chicken (who bought the cube ) is now worrying that they have too much room and will get cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I really thought I'd stuffed up in the kitchen - I got stuck on the oven handle aftter that picture I thought I was about to go and take the oven door off!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Well done Peng. Lovely pics.....especially of your little apprentice beaming. Mum is a worrier isn't she. Tell her that you can get ...THESE... for the depths of winter......or better still, a few more chickens will bring the temperature up inside the cube. You've got plenty of room.

Guest Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 People don't actually use those heat pads for their chickens do they! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Yes! Someone on the forum does! Cant remember who though. Mine have to rough it I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Oh dear, if I show her she will order 6, one for each chook and one for each cat. Mind you her cat thinks we don't talk to her anymore, she seems to be completely deaf so Mum would have to demonstrate. She is a worrier, I always knew she was but I didn't realise just how much until we moved in together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 It'll have to be half a dozen more hens then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Who needs an excuse to get more hens? Eh Dilly? Emma (the herd) was using heat pads when her first lot of ex-batteries were new, oven ready and it was cold, but then she also knitted one of them a jumper we were reminiscing about this on Saturday.
