Nuggywoo Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I've only been a member of this Forum for a week or so but I've learnt and laughed so much! I'm not even sure I should be here - I don't have an Eglu. BUT I am the very proud owner of two 10 mth old Andalusian girls (my Beauties) I hatched last May (3 out of 6 then one was murdered a month ago...). My Beauties and Phillip (borrowed banty boy) are so free range they have their own Range Rover. Through this Forum I've realised that it's not only me who talks to their chickens/worries about their happiness/are they warm enough at night sort of stuff! Thanks again. x ps My Beauties with their mad hair in the first pic are Samantha (front) & Pingu and the bottom pic is Phillip and a bum. (Sorry the pics are so big!)

Clur Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 They look brilliant! And don't worry - quite a few people on here don't seem to have eglus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah B Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 What splendid pics and whopping combs! Wish my girls had combs like that! Welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Ownership of Eglu...not necessary. Love of chickens is the only entrance fee to this forum. Your girls look lovely. How lucky they are to have that wooded area to play in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 They are gorgeous girls - I love Andalusians! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuggywoo Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 How lucky they are to have that wooded area to play in. It's probably about 3/4 of an acre (not mine!) and this weekend the hideous orange fencing will come down and mesh will go up. I'm also in the process of building a Des Res as I'm getting 3 more Andalusians in a couple of months - can't wait! Thank you for your kind replies, I think my girls are beautiful too but then I would - I grew them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsm_jones Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I think a lot of people on this forum must be like me....on board with the Omlet concept, but finding the cost restrictive!!! (NOte to Omlet...Cost IS an issue!!) As it is, my OH has built us a lovely home for our beautiful hens, but when I win the lottery first on the list is 3 new cubes all in different colours! We have bought the Grub and Super-Glug in bright pink though, and have attached it to our home made run. They are so much better and prettier than anything at BA Stores. I'm just going to buy some egg boxes from here too, but again...COST! And the Omlet egg boxes aren't all that pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjules Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Beautiful chooks, I've seen those in Practical Poultry but I haven't ever seen them in the flesh. Welcome to the forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 What lovely chickens . And a great setup (an eglu would look great there though ) but you can come and play with us even though you don't have one . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
