chicken crazy Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 I keep seeing this name Egluntine, is this the chicken owners oracle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scramble Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Yep Eglutine always seems to help with my problems! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I keep seeing this name Egluntine, is this the chicken owners oracle? No...I've just got a big gob. I get layers pellets, mixed corn, Aubiose , mixed poultry grit ,louse powder and all manner of other sundries at: Horse & Rider 187, Northfield Rd, Sheffield, S10 1QQ Tel: 0114 268 2523 Half day closing Thur. I always ring first as they will order stuff in for you and I hate a wasted journey. Also occasionally I go to Brough Mill, an agricultural supplier in Hope Valley They sell all sorts too. W.M Eyre & Sons Brough Corn Mill, Brough, Bradwell, Hope Valley, Derbyshire S33 9HG Tel: 01433 620353 There is a place out at Dinnington too, I've never been, but my pal uses it, so I could find out the details if you are that side of Sheffield.

chicken crazy Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 Thanks for the advice, I work at S6 and live in S13. The dinnington one might be good, if you could let me have the details. I've got to try and talk my boyfriend into taking me to them! I've got my driving test 2 wks after the chickens arrive so its all go at my house at the moment!

Egluntyne Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Just had a word with my friend. The Dinnington one isn't there anymore apparently. She goes**here** now. I expect you are half way between that and Horse and Rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken crazy Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 Thank you, I think I might try the one at S10 as thats not too far from upperthorpe is it? While I'm here and because you have been so helpful ! Can you recommend a list of must buy stuff that I need to get before the eglu arrives?

chicken crazy Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 Thank you very much! I'm making a list I want to be ready when they arrive. Well as ready as i can be. Do your's free range? sorry I'm asking loads of questions. Its nice your in sheffield too, I feel like I'm not the only chicken person here. Whenever I've mentioned it to someone they look at me like I've lost my mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlo Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 it is making me feel all nostalgic reading about the Sheffield Postcodes. I was in S8 until I was 18 but that was sadly a long time ago now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Dont let Egluntine tell you shes got a big gob....she is in fact the super all knowing chicken oracle. Shes given me some great and practical advise since I have joined here too. I think she is probably worthy of a cape Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken crazy Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 18 years wow alot that has changed. have you been back at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlo Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Sadly, it is 24 years since I was 18! There - giving it all away now! I have been back a few times (notably for a school reunion a few years ago that was a good laugh! but don't have much family up there now. It is completely different now and I get completely lost trying to find my way round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 The suppliers in the Sheffield 36 post code as mentioned in the link above are about 15- 20 miles away from where chicken crazy lives and the one in S6 isn't worth a visit.. Do your's free range? Yes, when I am at home. Its nice your in sheffield too, I feel like I'm not the only chicken person here. There are quite a few Sheffielders on the forum now.

Angels4 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Dont let Egluntine tell you shes got a big gob....she is in fact the super all knowing chicken oracle. Shes given me some great and practical advise since I have joined here too. I think she is probably worthy of a cape Troy As I said in a previous post...I find myself waiting until Egluntine responds before running out and doing anything rash. Although I do appreciate ALL advice I've recieved on the forum. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have all of you experts to guide me.

Egluntyne Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Gosh. Thanks. If I had a cape I'd trip over it or get it caught in a car door! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs chook Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Dont let Egluntine tell you shes got a big gob....she is in fact the super all knowing chicken oracle. Shes given me some great and practical advise since I have joined here too. Same here, Egluntine IS the all knowing chook expert. She has given me lots of sound advice too, which has been so helpful in introducing extra girlies etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
