Poorly chicken

[Laura & CTB]

.........I'm writing this as an excuse for a rest, boy did I struggle with that cardboard box - wouldn't fit through the living room door and so I now have a six inch corridor through the kitchen!!

 

But still - my purple eglu - it's lovely

 

The only question now is what to do with it until my chickens arrive in September

 

At the moment it's taking pride of place in the middle of the living room floor and the cats are definately interested in a take over.

 

All suggestions welcome but I thought maybe chuck some ice cubes in the poop tray and use it as a beer cooler

That sounds like a good idea But where are the pictures CTB

Ours arrived a week before we were due to collect our chickens, so we built it up in the garden, admired it for a while then promptly phoned the breeder and asked if we could collect the girls the next day, rather than wait the week.

 

She obliged, and the next day we had 2 chickens in residence!

Ok - am off to try it now.................

[AnnieP]

Ohh can't wait to see it!

[Laura & CTB]

 

Ta da!!!!!

 

Cats were there right up until clicked camera - typical

[AnnieP]

Ooohhh! Gorgeous!!! I am so

[Laura & CTB]

Thanks Annie - it's so ridiculous to get excited about an EMPTY chicken house. I'd love to be able to get chickens now but it's just not practical and am off on hols in September anyway.

 

How about a vase inside and flowers sticking out the side door

[AnnieP]

I think a little "welcome mat" outside the front of it!

Laura, I'm so excited and pleased for you! The purple eglu is just gorgeous and I would love one too! Perhaps I can visit YOUR chickens when they arrive?

[Laura & CTB]

Ginette, I'd be delighted for you to pop over when everything is set up!

[Guest]

Goody, goody!

I'm looking forward to it already!

[The Dogmother]

It looks lovely Laura, and the purple looks so well with the grey base too. I am envious!

[Martin B]

Why don't you temperarily convert it to a rablu!

[Karen & co.]

It's a really lovely colour, deserves pride of place in the garden perhaps with the cardboard cut out chickens keeping it warm for the girls when they arrive?
