ubereglu Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 (edited) Hi everyone, Today I made a couple of recycled hens! They're quite fun. I wonder whether I could use them as a money-making scheme to get my eglu. I've uploaded the pictures into my gallery, go to this link: http://club.omlet.co.uk/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=album130 Tell me what you think of them in this topic, or whether you'd like one! Could one of you clever moderators put the pictures on here for me? I don't know how. Thanks Scroll down for more Here they are - Lesley Metal one Sold Edited July 6, 2006 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 That's an interesting thought. Would you be able to reproduce them in a high quality, consistant, and large scale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I love the metal one What is the other one made from? Martin - I expect each hen would be individual - depending on the materials recycled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 I've made some more now, they aren't actually as big as the pictures on here are. I've made four more now and am uploading the pictures as I'm writing this. Lesley the big blue one's made from blue plastic off of my sister's old bank file! Do any of you think they'd be a good money-making scheme? As I could make a few more, when I find some more materials out of the shed. If you go to my album, you'll see some pekin versions for inside plant pots that are quite funky! I'll add them here and then send you a PM - Lesley The Blue Hen The Pekin Bantam Black Hen Plastic Pekin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 I've made even more now... and Please say what you honestly think about them. As if I'm allowed to sell them on here the money would go towards an eglu for my chickens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Cor, you'd make a great Blue Peter presenter noeglu How much are you selling them for? I like the wire one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Hiya! I like the Black one, the wire one and the plastic pekin. Although I do have 2 gingers and a pepperpot, maybe you could make a ginger one from a plastic lucozade bottle???? Very imaginative - I think they are really great!

Hellcat Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 noeglu, what a great idea! Keep going, I havent seen one in purple yet! If they all keep squabbling over the one design, you could auction it off to the highest bidder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 The idea of an auction is great, and will help Liz to raise the money she needs for an Eglu. Both she and Martin are so enterprising, I am sure that they will be captains of industry when they leave school Martin - sorry, I have just put the cheque in the post to Liz for the wire one , but you can see it when you next come round to my place. I wonder what my girls will think of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 well NoEglu. I'm sure that you can set up a listing on Ebay and just post the link here for us to bid over them. I have to say the wire one is great and there'd definately be a bid in from here! A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
