Hen party

Go on, laugh your heads off!!!!! But a Hen party it is..... all organised by omlet of course to learn how to look after your chooks!

Off we went on a mystery tour to the depths of Rettendon to the lovely Kathryns house..... massive garden... jealous not.. and at least 10 hens, 2 cubes, an eglu and built in run.......... now feeling very inadequate!!!

Honestly though we had a great time.....learn what to feed them, how to clean them, what their 'vent' does! Yukk is a gapping pulsing tunnel looking thing which is multi-purpose for egging, pooing and weeing!!!! Bit of a shock I can tell you!

However a very pleasant 2 hrs it was, 8 prospective parents all staring at chickens wondering what we are going to let ourselves in for....... some obviously had done NO research we on the otherhand new most stuff so no great shocks - thankfully!

We did come away with a very nice Omlet reusable bag though!

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. with the patch complete and much acurate measuring it was decided we had room for a cube!!!! Plus EVERYBODY says you'll up date to a cube within a week as it's addictive, so we decided to jump straight in.....

There was much debate on the omlet forum..... ALL in favor of a cube... but which colour... we had decided upon a green eglu but a purple cube won the day!!!

After almost crying on the phone with the lady she agreed to deliver it on the 10th July - Yay for me... or us I should say...... the chooks however will have to come at a later date after a few days away... no great shakes as I really want a white one!

Patch!

Well, now we had decided where they were going to live the stumps had to go...... a stump grinder was the obvious answer, however, the nice man at the hire shop had other idea, he reckoned that we wouldn't get it in the garden - not a great start.....

So off Nick when with henry for the great excavation..... there was much grunting and grinding, pick axe flinging and sweating and the first one was out!!! The next one wasn't so easy.. that required the most complex of equipement.... a car jack!! An excellent edition to any tool shed! however it did the trick, and thats what's important.....

Nick seemed to come off relatively well, and didn't even ache too much the next day.... take a look yourself!
