Chickens make great pets. They are so comical to watch and they are great for kids. They are very rewarding in that chickens not only provide lots of fun and entertainment you also get the added bonus of eggs. As you are aware eggs are very expensive now, and you know they do taste much nicer ad have a much better colour than the supermarket ones.

The great thing about chickens and any pets for that matter is that they teach children responsibility and caring.

 

The great thing is though you know your eggs have come from a well looked after chicken and not from those cooped up together in their hundreds.

 

Our Chickenshack Chicken houses make lovely homes for your Chickens and we have a great selection to choose from. Chickenhouses accommodating just one or two chickens to those holding upto twenty. Most people tend to own 2 or 3 chickens

 

Our chickenhouses are easy to clean and most have nest boxes, although you will find that not all chickens decide to lay their eggs in a nest box.

 

So treat yourself and the family to a chickenhouse from only £159.

Poultry Houses

Here at Elbec our pet store is full of incredibly low prices! A fantastic range at the moment is our poultry houses.

Inside our poultry houses there are often nest boxes for egg laying and perches on which the birds can sleep. Some of our poultry houses have an outdoor run as well. Both the inside and outdoor floors of a poultry house are often strewn with a loose material such as straw or wood chips to deal with chicken droppings and to allow for easier cleanup. Most of our poultry houses have some means of ventilation to help air out any smells.

There is a long standing controversy over the basic need for a poultry house.
One line of thinking, called the "fresh air school", is that chickens can’t sustain poor air quality and darkness, hence the need for a highly ventilated or open-sided coop with conditions more like the outdoors, even in winter.

However, others who keep poultry believe they are prone to illness in outdoor weather and need a controlled-environment coop.
This has led to two poultry housing designs: Fresh-air houses with wide openings and nothing more than wire mesh between chickens and the weather (even in Northern winters), or closed houses with doors, windows and hatches which can shut off most ventilation.

Ted the Shed - The Finale

So the time has come. Unfortunately every good thing has to come to an end and this is no different. So sit back, get a cuppa and enjoy the final chapter in Ted the Sheds grand story!


Ted was awoken by a loud roaring noise coming from the sky. He rubbed his eyes and looked upwards to see what the noise was; all the other garden buildings were already awake looking skyward. A plane was shooting across the sky, although this plane was moving much faster than any normal one Ted has seen before. It quickly went out of view and silence descended upon the field once again.

  “Weird…” commented Gertrude the Greenhouse.

  “That wasn’t any normal plane” added Chris the Chicken Shack.

  Not sharing his friends concerns, “I think it’s quite cool, look how fast it went” Ted said.

  No sooner had he finished, another deafening roar pierced the sky and 4 similar planes flew over the friends’ plain. “This isn’t good at all…” murmured Sarah the Shed.

  Suddenly a huge blast went off not too far away. The friends gasped as a fireball followed by a plume of smoke bellowed into the air. “It’s happening…” said Gertrude. Now getting slightly worried, “what do you mean it’s happening? What’s happening?” enquired Ted the Shed.

  With panic stricken across his logs, Larry the Log Cabin explained; “haven’t you noticed anything wrong with this place since you’ve been here Ted? Look around you. There’s nothing. No houses. No cars. No people. Just the one road that goes in and out of the plain.”

  Ted the Shed looked around and saw Larry was right. How had he not noticed something so obvious? Being with new garden buildings it completely slipped his mind to look for his old owners. “What are you saying then Larry?” Ted asked.

  “This is military testing area Ted. Those planes flying above us are RAF bombers. They come here and test out their latest weapons on the area!” Larry clarified.

  “What?! Why on earth do they need us here? My owners wouldn’t do this to me. No way” a distressed Ted the Shed said.

  “I’m so sorry Ted, but they have…” Larry the Log Cabin replied.

  Another plane flew across, followed by another. A bomb went off in the distance again. A second bomb exploded to the left of the Ted and he looked away in fear. He remained unscathed but a look of horror swept across his face as he turned back round... Sarah the Shed had been crumpled by the blast!

  “SAAAAAAARAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH” Ted cried out.

  The shed of his dreams had been blown apart before his very eyes. Chris the Chicken Shack had also suffered the same fate; all that was left were a few charred, broken panels. Bombs continued to rain down around Ted as he sat there helpless. When will this be over? He thought to himself. Then after a few long minutes, BOOM…. It was….

Ted the Shed Part 4

 

Yes, after nearly a 2 week absence Ted is back! ‘Woohoo’ I hear you shout! I apologise for keeping you all in such suspense after the cliff-hanger of the latest chapter, but I’m here now to relieve you of the tension.

 

Ted was lifted out the back of the lorry and forcefully carried away by two large delivery men. ‘I wonder where they’re going to put me?’ Ted the Shed thought, excitedly. The men took him into a large open plain and put him down against a bush. WOW! Ted gaped in awe at his new home; he was surrounded by a variety of sheds and garden buildings! The builders shifted Ted into position and walked away to remove the remaining items from the lorry.

   “Hey look guys, a newbie!” a voice called out.

   “Hello? My names Ted the Shed, pleasure to meet you all” Ted responded.

   “Very nice to meet you Ted, I’m Gertrude the Greenhouse” said a greenhouse a few metres away. “Look to your right you’ll see Glenda the Gazebo and Larry the Log Cabin, directly facing you is Chris the Chickenshack”

   “Wow, this really is amazing! I was a bit apprehensive about moving and leaving my old friends behind but you guys seem really cool!” said Ted enthusiastically.

   “Oh I almost forgot! There’s just one more garden building I forgot to introduce. Finally to your left you have Sarah the Shed” continued Gertrude.

   Ted looked to his left and couldn’t believe what he was seeing. His tools dropped to the floor. Sarah was the most beautiful shed he’d ever seen in his life!

“Heyyy Ted, how are you? It’s good to have you around, you’ll be happy here.” Sarah softly spoke

“Y-y-yeah I’m alright” said Ted, struggling to get his words out.

“Only alright? You were bouncing off the walls a minute ago!”

“I mean yeah great, buzzing. Sorry Sarah it’s all a lot to take in” Keep your composure! Ted thought to himself. It wasn’t too much to take in at all; he just couldn’t stop thinking how gorgeous she was! Was this love? His thoughts were soon interrupted by Larry the Log Cabin shouting across the field “Sarah share Ted around a bit!”

   Ted grinned and looked out at his new home. ‘I’m going to like this place’, he thought as he carried on talking with his new friends long into the night.

 

Is Ted in love? Is everything as rosy as it seems in the new house? Tune in next time to find out!

E is for Elbec

For some reason I was sitting at my desk and couldn’t think of anything within the business that begun with the letter E. Then I remembered that the actual business begins with an E. Silly.

C is for Chicken Shack

How do you like your eggs in the morning? Free Range. Yes Please. If you’re thinking about keeping, or already have your own lovely brood of hens then maybe they require a little land of luxury to lay their lovely little (or large!) eggs!

 

Chicken’s are happiest when they have room to roam, squawk and flap around their own space. How about providing the little peckers with their very own Chicken shack? We have a wide selection here at Elbec, all different sizes and shapes to suit your, or their, every need! Everyone knows how important space is when keeping chickens, and this is something that we have plenty of in our poultry house range. Happy Hens result in excellent eggs, so keep them happy-go-clucky at all times by sheltering them from the wind, rain and sun.

 

Don’t fancy having another house to have to keep clean and tidy? Stress over. Many of our poultry houses come complete with a removable floor, to make cleaning just that little bit easier and all of them are designed with both you and the birds in mind; allowing easy access cleaning to satisfy everyone. How about a nesting box? When you are sleepy eyed on a cold winter morning you can access your fresh eggs with ease without having to root through the pen. Some even have detachable nesting boxes, so you can remove the eggs without disturbing the brood. Not only are our Chicken shack’s egg ready, but many are compartmentalised with detachable ramps and separate rooms so your chickens can really feel at home. Extra run space is also an option, to give the chicks that extra bit of leg room they deserve. “What about that sly Mr Fox” I hear you cry. City living has never been so glamorous and, most importantly, safe! All of our chicken coops are sturdy, well-manufactured units that can keep out all of those clever and cunning foxes.

 

So go on! Have a fried egg for us! (Sunny Side up please!)
