buffie Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Hi Louise I saw that too! Think we are all trend setters? Wonder if we'll be called by magazines to come and look at the ultimate in chicken housing for the decerning chicken lover! Bx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted April 29, 2005 Author Share Posted April 29, 2005 Hi Sarah it's www.newscientist.com but their website is having problems this morning so maybe try later!!

Louise Posted April 29, 2005 Author Share Posted April 29, 2005 Okay so the web link doesn't work I may need the wand waving moderators for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahJo Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Its ok Louise .. I'll just go to it direct from the web homepage. Thanks alot .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahJo Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Just been to the Omlet homepage .. they have put on a site "Beam me up Scotty" ... something to do with space chooks. Just been looking at this .. really quite funny log of chooks events, the mother ship being of course the Eglu. And the owners being known as male/female elders. Go have a read ... think its based on this forum, as they seem to touch on alot of our experiences and annecdotes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted April 29, 2005 Author Share Posted April 29, 2005 That is a very amusing chook diary But the question is who do Janeway and Seven belong to One of my friends described the eglu as the escape pod from the liberator (Blakes 7) and asked if my neighbour knew I had borrowed it So the mother ship works in my world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahJo Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Louise ... you can add comments too, and also see what others have written, at the bottom of each Log. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motherhen Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Site is now up and working. You can post comments on the eglu and give it a rating out of 5. I do think it deserves more than the current average of 4.22! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 It is up to 4.28 now. I managed to find my way there eventually It must be getting late! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammi J Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 That is a very amusing chook diary But the question is who do Janeway and Seven belong to I remember going on that web site when someone posted a message and I clicked on their website link. It's "doug" from Staines, Middlesex who joined us this month, me thinks. It's a really fun idea for a web site. Well done doug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 I did post comments on how great the eglu is and gave it 5 points last week but they moderate all the comments first so I will have a look later and see if my bit has appeared yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahJo Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Janeway and seven have a broody problem . Just checked this out, as they seemed to stop doing the starlogs for a while. They have updated to 14th June, so go and have a giggle. The site is on the links page, at the top of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Hi Sarahjo, I had no idea any of that stuff existed. I'd never even noticed the links button before either..... Now I have to spend another 5 hours out of my working day surfing my way through that lot (Hurrah!!) Think tea and biscuits are needed first.......where's Sheila when you need her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahJo Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 It is pretty funny, though as I said, for a while they did not update the log ... but now its up and running again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
