Lapinou Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 For those who are sceptical of the eglu/cube and what appears like the initially higher expense: My parents kept chickens and ducks for a good few years when I was a teenager and loved it. They'd really like to do it again but 'it's so much work to keep cleaning them out etc.'. Now they've seen our eglu, although I think my mum was coming round to them anyway, my dad is a complete convert! He said yesterday 'well the only thing that had been stopping me is all the work, but I can see with these things that the work just isn't the issue it used to be'. I think they'll be getting a cube (huge garden) but only three chickens as there are only two of them now (as opposed to two adults and four hungry teenagers last time round ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieSB Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 That's really good, Clare. It'll be great for your parents to get back to doing something they love and enjoying it all the more for not having to put in so much work, as they used to.

Egluntyne Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Fab news. Be sure to get them to tell Omlet that you recommended the cube to them, and then you might get a good egg voucher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lapinou Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 Ooh! What's a good egg voucher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 If someone buys an Eglu/Cube on your recommendation, Omlet give a 20 quid voucher for you to spend in the Omlet Shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lapinou Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 Woweee!!! And I have a friend interested in an eglu too Off to search the shop for goodies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I just typed a message and lost it somehow, so I will try again... The maintenance time is greatly reduced on the eglu/cube I have to say. I jetwashed mine today and it came up like new, no other chicken housing will do this IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 That is indeed an endorsement . Who would know better than someone who has kept chickens in the past . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
