fluffygrue Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 You guys are fantastic! I think the patter of tiny chicken feet may be not too far away.. (And yes, it seems that now my main problem is what colour to get!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Whereabouts in the west midlands are you? There are lots of forum members around here. If you have trouble finding someone to go round to your house, then if you can get the Eglu to me, I'll have them in my garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesyboy27 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Hi Clare We live in Kingswinford West Mids regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 OK, well, leave the post up for a while to see if anyone in that area sees it and offers. Also try emailing barbara@omlet.co.uk, she might know of someone in that area who would be willing. If you don't get any joy, then if you're prepared to put the eglu and hens in the car and bring them to sunny Banbury, I'd be happy to look after them for you.

Lesley Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I'd be quite happy to have them here if you wanted to bring them over. Just slightly nearer to you than Clare - and a bit more room! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Echo! Would be happy to have them. I think Lesley has a few acres more room though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluffygrue Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Hello Fluffgrue - looks like you've no excuse not to get an Eglu and a couple of chickens now Now what colour Eglu are you going to order? It seems I've just ordered a green reconditioned one. Have yet to arrange a delivery date. To add my 2p, I'm happy to chicken sit - we're in South Manchester and have room in the garden. (Think we'll be away mid-August for 2 weeks, so will probably need to arrange something for then, when we figure out what plans are ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Can I just say that I'm afraid that I don't actually have a list of chicken sitters. The only person I have listed is Melcotton http://egluretreats.blogspot.com/ in Leicestershire. I think we need to make some sort of directory to list all those willing to chicken sit on here though. I'll leave that to Kate to organise . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Right, I've created a new section "Chicken Sitters" and have listed everyone here who has said that they would consider being chicken sitters. If anyone wants to be removed from that list, please let me know. If you want to be added to it, again, please let me know.
