Nicola H Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 That is really good news Sarah, how lucky are you, I am sure the in-laws will be very grateful that you are going to look after the chooks for them...................... Good luck with the party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 That's great. I am so not jealous of you... As I turn green with envy Really I am very envious, but happy for you. If only my parents and relatives etc. were so generous. I don't think my only grandparent would though as he is 85 and lives in an Old people's home and has never heard of eglus.

Cinnamon Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 Well, they are here,a day earlier than expected. I didn't go 100% smoothly with the sister-in-Law,who was under the impression that we just wanted the chickens & not the Eglu too Despite the fact that we have NOWHERE ELSE FOR THEM TO LIVE !!!! Anyhow,we sorted it all out & the girls (& Eglu) are here now,& we already have had an egg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 An egg already? Isn't that great! Well done, those new girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I'm so pleased for you Sarah. I hope it all works out well for you this time. Did SIL want the eglu herself then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted February 18, 2006 Author Share Posted February 18, 2006 Yep,to list on eBay. The thing is FIL said we could have the Eglu with the chickens,which we agreed to,but to just take the chickens,with no housing would have been impossible I don't know what on earth she thought we were going to do with them She even sadi we could carry them home in the car on our laps....mad or what?

Popcorn Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Well Sarah, I don't know where I've been since Thursday, (head in the clouds again ) but I totally missed this entire thread Glad I found it though Brilliant news. I'm so pleased for you. Odd that they only wanted to give you the chickens. What were they going to do with the Eglu? If they kept the eglu then they may as well as kept the chickens too for the small amount of space a couple of chooks take up All ok in the end, and they are probably glad of the extra space now anyway. Hope you have had a good 'all things chicken' weekend and have a big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
