craftyhunnypie Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Whilst on an afternoon out to Birchwood & Ikea at Warrington, we also stopped off in Whitley. Mainly as we have a caravan rally at the village hall really soon & we are in charge of running it - so went to suss it out. As we drove down the lane I shouted at the top of my voice....."there's a green cube"!!!! It was at the side of the house in what look like a little paddock. I wonder who it belongs to & if I could gaze at the chooks from the hedge when we stay round there?? It's the first time I have ever spotted an eglu or cube whilst out & about..it sort of makes your heart miss a beat. Sad I know!!! So green cube owner in Whitley - you've been spotted!

Karen & co. Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I saw a yellow eglu once near when we were driving through Haughton, near to where I grew up I wonder if the cubes owner comes on here? Karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 It was a shock when we passed one at the bottom of our road and realised we didn't know how long it had been there. Turns out longer than ours and they moved away. It's sad but it makes a good day out if I see chickens when I am out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlo Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 We were doing a bike ride near Stockbridge in Hampshire and spotted a pink Eglu. Don't know exactly where we were but it was a lovely spot. If the owners are on this forum and wonder why a middle aged mom and two kids were staring at their garden a couple of weeks ago - sorry!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I got all excited when I saw a green eglu on our camp site in Fort William (much to the of my family ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Did it live there - or did someone take their hens and eglu camping with them?? I see no reason why it couldn't be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 . Yes it lived there . I can just imagine a family taking their chickens for a walk up Ben Nevis . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnie the Moocher Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Is there an Omlet car sticker? We could wave to each other in a knowing way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milly Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I have never seen an Eglu or a Cube from train/bus/car/bike/foot..... but I keep on looking! And I always look at people in Crocs in case they are omleteers (but I'm not sure how you would know). Milly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I've never spotted an Eglu or Cube at random but I've spotted a few houses locally who have chicken houses and I always look as I go past. At some point I'm going to have to start looking at the ROAD - it's always me driving! Oh and my passenger (well Mum when I take her) always says I drive to fast for her to see anything!

Egluntyne Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 And I always look at people in Crocs in case they are omleteers (but I'm not sure how you would know). Chicken poo on their clothes and feathers in their hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 We've been known to yell CHICKENS! And screech to a halt! I have mentioned car stickers to Omlet, they though tit a good idea but nothing came of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 That would make you more obvious I elbow OH in the cinema and say chickens anytime they appear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Some sort of sticker surely? Come on Omlet! Then we can all do the MG wave thing - though I guess we'd have to come up with some sort of chicken wave thing. The mind boggles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
