An Eglu in Abu Dhabi, a Bar that looks like A Giant Stork and the Llama with Chickens for Company!
Welcome to the New Gallery!
Great news for those of you that can't get en-ouef of 'papping' your hens – the Omlet Gallery is back in action! With a brand new design it is better than ever, quicker to use, and easier to browse.
If you've uploaded images in the past, don't despair, your photos are still there and looking splendid. If you haven't used the gallery before, now's your chance to show off your prettiest pets (and your photography skills). And if you prefer to ooo and ahhh at other people's pictures, then go ahead...there are hundreds to look at.
Visit the new gallery page now and have a giggle!
This chap's impression of a Gingernut Ranger didn't have the chickens fooled!
Compost Woman's First Compost
Compostwoman's latest post has been blogged, and the worm-derful news is...she has compost! And not just any compost, may we point out, but the best compost money can't buy. Worm compost is very concentrated, so a little goes a long way, and it is full of fabulous nutrients that your plants will love.
After just four weeks of using the Hungry Bin, Compostwoman happily harvested her first batch of compost. She was impressed at the ease of releasing the tray of compost from the bottom, with nothing falling out of the bin in the process. Only one worm had made an escape, and he or she was quickly reunited with his friends back in the bin. Compostwoman added the compost to some pots of veggies, as well as giving them a dose of tasty worm tea.
The conclusion after week 4: “My Hungry Bin is now absorbing my daily kitchen waste – about a kilo of it every day...I am SO impressed with this wormery!”

Four weeks in and Compost Woman harvests the Hungry Bin's first batch of compost!
The Eglu in Exhibition Eco Future
What will the world be like in the year 2050? Well, flying cars may be a bit eggstreme, but we think it's fairly likely there'll be an awful lot of Eglus out there.
In The Eco Future exhibition in Abu Dhabi visitors can decide for themselves what the future might hold. Opening later this month, this is set to be a fantastic eggsibition that will entertain, educate and inspire children. Kids are invited to take part in games and interactions, making choices about their future as they enter various zones. Each zone addresses a different subject matter (drinking, eating, enjoying, moving and building), exploring the impact of our current lifestyles on the planet.
But what does this all have to do with Omlet? There is an Eglu on display in the exhibition! Keeping chickens in an Eglu is just one of the examples of how new ideas, technology and behaviour can have a positive effect on our planet.
Can't make it to Abu Dhabi for the exhibition? Our advice – keep calm and keep chickens!

Racing Chicken Prize Winners
Thanks to everyone that entered last month's competition. We didn't realise how many hen- wannabe-atheletes there were out there...the olympecks certainly does seem to have inspired birds up and down the country. Although we'd love to hencourage all chickens, we only have one set of Racing Saddles to give away, and the winner is Fiona Musticone. Her hens Thelma, Louise, Freckle, Grumbles, Pimples, Ninja, Jet and Nugget are warming up already, and Fiona tells us that on the day of the race they will eat porridge, followed by cheese and spinach 'omlet', finished with a last minute meal worm taster. Yum!
We can't wait to see some photos of the race in action!
A Rather Eggstraordinary Bar
You might remember the story we featured a few months ago, about a Hamster Hotel in Nantes. Well this city obviously likes to keep things whacky, with their latest addition being a bar designed like a giant stork's nest. Le Nid (the nest) was designed by graphic designer Jean Julien, and it sits on top of skyscraper Tour de Bretagne in the largest city in Brittany. The huge, stork body houses the bar itself, and the nest comprises of egg-like seats and tables for customers.
There is some relevence to the bizarre design, as the stork is native to the Nantes area, and it builds its nests high up, on platforms and branches. Although, being rather bias on the subject, we think a chicken bar would have been much better!

Around 30g should be used per square metre, or if applying directly to chickens use around 3g per bird. There is no need to re-apply daily and this product will last up to 6 weeks. Please read the dosage advice on the packaging.
This can also be used on all types of pets, horses and farm livestock and in the home and garden to control insects such as ants, silverfish and termites. It can also be used to control fleas, lice and ticks.
