Krysia Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 Kay has just mailed me to say that they are about to start the bantom skelters and also wondered if people would like other colours? What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I quite like the silver (not that I've got mine in the flesh yet ). Kay emailed me too - to say that the Ebay seller is someone "nice" in fact, here's what she said: Thats OK, the person selling them is a nice person, and has been pretty helpful with info etc to us, he took 6 and has asked for another 12!! Good on him, we're all trying to make a living! thought the photo was pants, but the write up is good!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Now a duck egg blue (or should that be a hens egg blue!) would go down very well with me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Snowy, Egluntine mentioned that she'd seen them on ebay, but I couldn't find them - any links? Sorry, I've been a bit distracted today and haven't really had time to look properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJuff Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 In the stampede i bought an egg skelter and . . . . I'm not sure I like it! I think I prefer my hen house wooden egg holder. Not sure whether to give it to a friend as a gift now or sell it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisa Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I've just ordered one as well I've just kept my supermarket eggs in the fridge so far. Looking forward to some nice fresh eggs of my own though. ~cruisa~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Mine arrived today. It's cool! I like to have all my eggs in order and it does look pretty. Took a couple of tries to get the eggs sitting in the right position, but once you've done that, they roll fairly well over short distances. Trouble is, the boys want to put the eggs at the top and let them roll all the way down! Might have to hard boil a couple and let them play - get it out of their system!

Egluntyne Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Here's mine. I really like it! Only 23 on it as some of my girls lay ostrich eggs. Little Nugget's eggs are like bantam eggs in comparison!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krysia Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 I haven't managed to fill mine yet, Despite 16 girls we are currently averaging 3 eggs a day with the occasional 5. It does look ace filled up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I'm off to (hopefully) collect my skelter from the Post Office this morning . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddie Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Now that's apretty picture!! I'm glad it's not just my girls that lay all colours all sizes and all shapes! Most around us have pretty shiny eggs that come out all the same size! Mind you, they also dont have the fun of one of theirs trying to be a house chicken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Oh, I want one.... any news on that bantam version Freddie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Picked up my skelter this morning . It looks great - although a bit empty with only 2 eggs in it . I'm starting to think I should've gone for the 12 egg one (I only have 3 hens, so was perhaps being a bit optimistic ). If there's anyone that regrets getting a 12 and wants a 24, maybe we could do a swop . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudgley Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 These are fantastic & I can't believe I've missed this thread until now. So 2 questions. Shall I get a 24 egg or a 12 egg? Which looks nicer? Is it better/cheaper to get them direct or via e-bay? Got to get one...they're fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 This is mine - full to the brim! Only 23 on it though - like Egluntine, a couple of ostrich eggs in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Is it better/cheaper to get them direct or via e-bay? I paid £18.99 inc P&P from Ebay for a 24 egg one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
