BeckyBoo Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Just off to pick it up now!! Sadly it's just a rental - those of you that know Perfect Poultry in Ligh"Ooops, word censored!"er, yes, Mr Grumpy who hates all things Eglu, well when I went to buy some eggs from him a few weeks ago I saw a yellow Eglu in his yard, bit neglected and run down. Anyway he said he was keeping it to show everyone how rubbish they are. I don't think he really is grumpy, just very VERY dry, he spent an hour showing my children his eggs and incubating shed and chicks last time we were there. So today, as I was cleaning out my handbuilt run for Speckle and her chicks I tought, I wonder if he'd rent it to me until they're bigger? So I emailed him and he has!! Four months rental, it'll be fab!! Can't stop, gotta collect my Eglu!! Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Yellow Eglus are beautiful. Try to buy it off him. It is wasted on him. Philistine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I was going to say that, definately try to buy it off him, yellow is a colour that you dont see very often as well isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I cant believe he keeps it to show people how rubbish it is! Good on you Mrs B for nabbing it off of him.

Laura & CTB Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 When the four months is up just tell him he was right - the eglu is so rubbish that it just fell apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 by the time you've paid 4 months rental, you could have offerred him a price to take his 'rubbish' yellow eglu off his hands.. I have to admit my son's favourite colour is yellow so he like it when he see's pictures of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeckyBoo Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 Well after a VERY quick scrub up and clean up the cheepy chicks plus Speckle are now happily scrubbing around ruining my remaining grass!! And it's a delight to see. Dad's Fathers Day lunch was only an hour and three quarters late and the lemon meringue pie was quite chewy, but it was just me him and the chooks so it was lovely. What a great day. I'll take some photos tomorrow - computer "can't find" my camera Stupid thing, I keep waving it in front of it "HERE IT IS SILLY COMPUTER!!!"

ubereglu Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Wow, I'd love a yellow eglu. It's a huge shame that they don't make them anymore as that would have been the colour I would have gone for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ange1 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Mrs B we're proud of you taking the yellow beaty off Mr Grumpy! I'm sure the chicks will be happy in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
