kannie Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I kept hearing last summer that chicken keeping was the UK's fastest growing hobby. Anyone know where this fact / rumour originated from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motherhen Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 It doesn't matter how wonderful a product is, if no one knows about it. All good businesses have to advertise and spread the word throughout the world - and beyond. I'm sure the rumour about the first manned mission to Mars taking an eglu and 2 hens with them is just a rumour What colour eglu would look best on all that red rock?

motherhen Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I'm sure they could add some glittery bits to the plastic powder they use to make the eglus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Bet you can't guess.... Yup, it's pink! Well, the bottom half of the walls is, I fadede it into the white halfway up and painted the ceiling to look like a sky. Don;t know where she gets the girly stuff form; she's more like Buffie than me in that respect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motherhen Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 It's in their genes They do grow out of it - sounds as if you aren't doing too badly re tasteful decorating. My daughter wanted her room all Barbie pink at one stage And no, we didn't give in, but the nagging was a tad wearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
