Fleata Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 i've just been reading the P.P mag that come thru my door today and on P40 there is a pic of yellow eglu with a caption underneath "Happy days in the Thornborough back garden. Unfortunaltey, the run wasn't fox proof....." Havent they got this totally wrong. !!!!! what shouid we do ??? i've read the article back to front now twice now and there is nothing in the main part just under the photo. As this is a main selling point for the eglu, should they be saying that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacedhopper Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 do you get this magazine automatically if youve brought/bought (never shaw which spelling it is, or shaw for that matter) an eglu, or do you need to join some secret club ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Bought if you buy and brought if you bring - and 'sure' You can subscribe to the magazine and it arrives in the post or you can buy it from a newsagent or bookstore such as WHSmiths. It is nothing to do with Omlet or Eglus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Sorry - the shorthand P.P stands for Practical Poultry. They have a forum as well - www.practicalpoultry.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 It is mentioned in the article - albeit briefly. "sadly, their progress in their new urban home came to an untimely end with the intrusion of a fox that managed to burrow in to the run and dispatched all three" So, not a totally unfounded comment.

Guest Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 But that refers to the first person in the article - and it doesn't look like she had an eglu. The eglu photo refers to the second people in the article, but there is no mention of them having a fox problem. I think the stories and photos have got confused.

Lesley Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 No - it says under the photo "Happy days in the Thornborough back garden. Unfortunately, the run wasn't fox-proof" Previous page says "Kathy and Tim Thornborough" and goes on to talk about their experience with rescue hens and includes the sentence I quoted. The McCartney's also have an Eglu and their part of the article mentions that they opted for an Eglu and they obviously had no problems with theirs.
