Flyte So Fancy

27/11/2024

Last weeks festive flurry felt like the perfect time to snap some photos of our brand new Duck House.
We went back and forth on a name for longer than I care to admit! Finally, Phill won the day, so I'd like to introduce you all to the rather adorable, Archie.

Even better, Archie is on a special introductory offer, as we felt that he looked so great in the snow that he would make a wonderful Christmas present!

Workshop Wednesday!
Barn Owl Restock completed - one of our biggest stock builds of the year, when the workshop pools together to produce 50 of our most popular owl box.
Lovely job.

Still one of my favourite custom set-ups we've helped with!
A few simple alterations to allow our customer to make the most of the space for their hens, across two different levels of her garden.

Have you visited our shop?
Our display area underwent a massive renovation this summer, and while the weather isn't quite what it was a month ago, we'd still like to show you around and invite you along!

"Sturdy, well built and traditional

I purchased the hobby duck house for my two ducks. The communication with FSF was fantastic! It arrived well packaged but unfortunately just a small hair line crack in a panel. I was kindly sent a product in the post which arrived the next day to fix the small crack, which I was very pleased with. My ducks love their new home. It’s warm and breathable. My chickens find a way to sleep with the ducks which is lovely but I decided they need more space so I have now ordered the chicken hobby house. :) these houses will last for years, so I feel it’s money well spent. I was given some advice with red mite so I’m determined to keep the coop well cleaned to prevent. Many thanks Flyte So Fancy! I’m extremely pleased ♥️ and so are my ducks and chickens (the hobby fits two ducks and 4 chickens very well!)"

Most customer review photos are of boring things like chicken coops.

Tom has sent a photo of his long suffering Jersey Giant sporting this fetching little brown number to help protect her from all the male attention she was getting!
Good job Tom, she looks great! ✨



p.s. Just kidding, we love your coop photos, please send us more 😂

It was all hands on deck in the workshop earlier this week, and not for the usual reasons! One of our Hamburgs had been secretly sitting on some eggs under a bush, unknown to any of us here. When the rains came, she tried to relocate, but got separated from the chicks, leaving them cold and wet in the grass, with mum nowhere to be seen.
Luckily, they were spotted by Zak, and swiftly tucked inside his jumper for warmth. Jump forward an hour and his pockets were cheeping away, with all 8 chicks dry, happy and healthy, albeit perhaps a little confused. He knocked together a little home for them on his bench to keep himself merrily distracted all day 😂
Mum was later found and relocated to a broody coop, where they have now been reunited, with Zak still keeping a watchful eye over them, just in case 🐥

Chickens will eat just about anything they can get their beaks around - they'll even have a go at the things that they can't too! They are omnivores who will just as happily chow down on their daily portion of pellets as they will your veg peelings or off cuts of meat.

We've all heard from our mums best-friends neighbour's sister who has had chickens for years and only ever fed them on kitchen scraps - and they will take them happily! But that doesn't mean that they should.

Not only are a number of foods not good for your hens, feeding them kitchen scraps is now illegal! That's not to say that if you grew a few too many lettuces this summer that you're committing a crime by throwing the girls a few leaves, but any potential cross contamination from processed foods or meats presents a real problem.

We've put together our list of approved treats to keep your girls happy (in small quantities), as well a few things that you might not have known were really bad... 🐓

"Super happy with my purchase. I got 2 jumbo chicken shelters to give my chickens more space and protection from the British weather and they look absolutely amazing.

The delivery was also super quick and the communication really amazing, I always got the answer to every question I had in the same day or the next.

The shelter is as described, strong, beautiful, super easy to put together and my chickens absolutely love it. I totally recommend it."

After taking a backseat on the projects list for a few too many years, the Anne & Phill decided that the display area was in desperate need of a little zhuzhing - or certainly a splash of colour!

With a build of our V-Shaped, Holwell and Minterne planters fresh out of the workshop, we took up paint brush and trowel to help bring our shop to life. A few weeks later and the abundance... deluge... what's a suitable collective noun for flowers flowers?... all of the lobelias, geraniums and marigolds have fully come to life!

What flowers would you have chosen for our planters? 🌺🌸🌼🌻

Okay, I admit it - many hours of scrolling Before/After videos on Instagram and Youtube may have slightly influenced this video 🤣

However, as the Flyte so Fancy team has worked so hard to update the display areas, we thought you all deserved to see a sneak-peek of how pretty the latest section now looks 😍

What colours would you have chosen for the Log and Garden Stores?

With the planters in full bloom, it is very easy to get distracted wandering around FSF HQ on lovely sunny days such as these ☀️🐝
