AJuff Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Over dinner this evening my 10yr old tells me she'll be keeping hens when she has her own place after university. (Another 8yrs or so). She has asked whether I can keep my spare purple eglu which I am planning to sell when my cube arrives. I could wrap and store it in the eaves in the garage but it seems such a waste when it could be used. Also how much will eglus be when she needs one? Any thoughts? I didn't really know what to say.

Angels4 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 If it were me. I would tell her it would be free, and offer to get her an Eglu for a house warming or you could sell the Eglu and tell her you will put it in a savings for use to purchase one when the time is right. I don't really see them coming down in price though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Well, you could explain that by the time she will be keeping chickens (very cool daughter you have by the way ) there is bound to be a super-duper state of the art version of the eglu available and she may not want the old, boring one.......so you could say you will give her £x from the sale of your eglu to put towards it. [Or just keep yours in the garage!!! ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen&Rog Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hee hee, I don't think when I was 10 I'd ever have imagined going to University and making plans for the future, what a clever daughter you have! I reckon her thoughts will turn from chickens to other things when she graduates at 21-ish. Your Eglu may well be gathering dust for more than 10 yrs, by which time who knows what Omlet will have invented! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
