My eco solution to rat problems

[Aunty e]

So I was in Sutton House, waiting to go out and play for the morris men, when I looked out of a window and spotted a green cube! Was overcome with excitement, and made all of the troupe come and look out the window, and then garbled at the people who run Sutton House for about ten minutes about how exciting it was to see someone elses. So I wondered if the owner of that cube is on t'forum?

[Christian]

It is exciting when you see a eglu/cube isn't it?!

 

I was on a train many months ago and saw an eglu in someones back garden!!!

We saw one when we were in Wales in the summer. I nearly exploded with excitement ! I'm surprised the owner didn't hear me yelling "An Eglu! An Eglu!!" .

I know who it belongs to. My mother lives down there and goes to talk to the chickens, so you never know, there might be two cubes to see from Sutton House soon!

I've passed on a message to the owner, to let him know his chickens and their house are now famous

I have yet to be lucky enough to spot an eglu on my travels, maybe Im not looking hard enough!

[Egluntyne]

I've seen one from a train window too!

[Jules.]

I can just imagine what I'd do if I was travelling alone on a train & spotted an eglu- I would forget I was alone & shout "An eglu- look boys!"

and then all the other passengers would be relieved when I finally got off the train

So we've been spotted. Staff at Sutton House complained when we moved it actually as its a bit more tucked away now and they can't see the chickens from their office window!

You would be escorted off at the next station Jules!

I know

I used to see one on the train from Bournemouth to Southamton, in someone's garden near Burton. I used to look out for it everytime I went on the train, then it disappeared and I was really disappointed!

 

Where else are they spotted?

 

I like to see the free range farms, too. There are lots by railway tracks; one just outside Winchester, for instance, going west.

 

We could get a good list going, maybe a spotters guide ?

 

OK, getting carried away now...

I like to go on google earth and try to eglu spot Haven't seen any yet though, not even over omlet HQ

thats funny. I thought you were gooing to say they asked you to move it cos it was garish.

People love chickens when they get to know them dont they
