One Man Banned Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 (edited) Well today was the first time of giving the Eglu a good clean and I have to admt it was very easy indeed - A good wipe down with Ecover and scrubbed off the roosting bars and it really is as good as new What was even more amusing was Margot - as I cleaned the Eglu this morning at about 10am she was ready to lay! - she didn't half give me dirty looks! hey ho!

Guest Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 The first time I mis-timed the eglu clean, Star was most disgusted she couldn't get comfy on the nest, and tootled into the (empty) greenhouse, and layed in a plant pot - took ages to get her to speak to me again! And yes! It is that easy to clean the eglu - I really should do it more often.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 You are good Andrew - ours don't get the luxury of such regular cleans Am I a bad mummy We do clean out the nest everyday, otherwise we get pooey egg shells but, yes..it's so easy isn't it, not a bother.

One Man Banned Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 ah now there may be a bit of a problem with that Martin, you see I was more hoping for voluntary work. - I'm sure it can form a part of coursework or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I don't understand how that would work out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggle Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 That's definitely a plan . You get a field trip to the beautiful Gloucestershire area, and you get to clean 2 eglus!! I am not far from Andrew & Joe. How much more practice do you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Surely it could come under one of the Duke of Edinburgh Award sections. Organic Animal Husbandry, Self-Sufficiency, Environmental Issues etc etc. You'll be more than welcome at our house any time Martin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 well I work for Hertz car rental so I could get one of the works cars and chauffeur you around from Eglu to Eglu - I'm certain that it would work out. Come on Martin it would be great practice for when you get your Eglu When was that again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 I can't help it - there's a bar of G&B's at stake Did I also mention that I had friends round for dinner tonight and I served up G&B chocolate ICE CREAM - if it weren't for the fact that young 'uns are on here I could type something most improper!
