Fabergé Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Here are some pictures of my chooks at last. The Pepperpots are Margaux & Petrus, the Gingernuts are Chablis & Chardonnay. The bantams are Bolly & Stolly. These are the girls who came from Sarah. http://club.omlet.co.uk/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=18807 I could watch them for hours - they are soo funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauty-Box Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 They are beautiful chooks! Love the cube! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsCube Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Oh looks lovely, I really want a run extension in the new year now. However do they reach your glug though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabergé Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 However do they reach your glug though! The big girls can reach it but the bantams can't. Thanks to a suggestion from Claret, we added a rabbit drinking bottle lower down. Now they all use this & ignore the original glug! (slightly out of date pictures) It's funny seeing the big girls crouching down to the rabbit spout! Gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Beautiful girlies. Love putting chickens and their owners together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxanne Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I ended up buying a normal glug which my chicken seem to prefer. How is your lawn now??? I have to say I moved my cube and run every 5 days and the grass only took about 2 weeks to come back during the summer - don't know about the winter though... I have put wood chips down which they seem to love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjules Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Oooh, loving that Red Cube! My GNR would love that but they'll just have to put up and shut up for now! Your grass looks lovely in the pics. Ours is much more utility than show if you know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milly Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 They do look nice in the cube. And your grass looks perfect. Better not mention dustbaths and scratching for worms and Milly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabergé Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 So far, when they've been free ranging they've seemed to like to go to the same spots - flower beds at the end of the patio or in the corner of the garden where the earth is quite dry & they can scratch & dust bath all they like. then if they wind gets up they retreat under the table so they're kind of inside/outside I've been moving the cube every few days so they can have clean grass in the run for when I'm at work & they can't go out. Then I just rake up the poos from the vacated area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
