What makes a chicken coop easy to live with?

OH discovered a new mark 1 eglu at the end of our road today! Is there anyone in Hillsborough, Sheffield who has just got a red eglu (possibly second hand) recently?

How did he discover that ? Is his name Tom?

 

Or maybe he is a window cleaner?

I was on a train yesterday and saw one from the window in a back garden outside Birmingham towards Water Orton!!

Perhaps Omlet could bring out an eglu version of the old I SPY books - we could have mark 1s and mark2s in all the colours plus variations of basic runs, extended runs, home made runs......

 

Then there could be a whole section on the hens

Oooohh, count me in!!

Great idea Jane! I like that. I must admit to looking for Eglus in back gardens when we're on trains or on a drive out. I thought I was just sad but knowing everyone else does it makes it a very trendy passtime! Thanks folks !

Thank you Kate, that is such a relief! My companion on the train did a lot of the rolling eyes routine when it became obvious what I was doing!

OH seems to know lots of random stuff I would never know about otherwise

 

You can see the eglu if you walk past the house SLOWLY

There is a passageway between houses onto some shared gardens and it is on the side nearest the pavement...

behind a hedge BUT you can see it easily as you pass if you know to look for it at the right moment.

 

It's quite exciting, there could be a potential chicken buddy just metres away from my house

John said he only saw one chicken though you would think that isn't natural for chickens, so hoping there is another hidden away.

Probably laying an egg, or in the garden under a hedge. I don't really do eglu spotting, it's much easier to do hen spotting instead-depending on whether Dad's sticking to the speed limit.

I've found the forum user wity the eglu down the road

turns out it is a mark 2 red eglu

What a shame they are moving I am yet to meet somebody local with an eglu. It would be lovely.
