Poorly chicken

[ubereglu]

Hi today was the first time I've ever seen an eglu in the flesh today. It looked and was great. This has just made me want an eglu more and more so I just really, really want to make the money for it even more.

I don't know what colour I'll choose though...

 

Also, quick question, does anyone know what the average price a second hand eglu goes for from Omlet HQ with no chickens?

 

Then it'll give me a good idea on how much I'll need to raise, I'm thinking in the region of £200.

Where did you see one? I'm about to pm you.

[ubereglu]

I saw one on a stall at the Shepton Mallet Show. I think it was the 'Somerset youth volunteering network' stall. They had 2 battery hens living in it. It was groovy.

[Martin B]

Wow! What colour was it?

[ubereglu]

Blue...It was gorgeous. I wanted to steal it and take it home with the two battery hens in it. I think I'll either get a blue one/purple one/green one now.

[Martin B]

[ubereglu]

Actually I want a , but I'll settle for a .

[Martin B]

I'd settle for any. However James offered me a green one, and I can't imagine an eglu in anyother colour unless I see it.

[ubereglu]

The blue ones are lovely.

[Martin B]

I've never seen a blue eglu, but I've seen a blue ducklu!

[Lesley]

...but the blue Ducklu is only an Eglu with the wooden slats taken out

[Martin B]

I suppose it is!

I got my mark 1 eglu for only £190, we new the sellers Mum so we got it cheaper that way. Ask around to see if anyone has an eglu, you never know they might want to sell it to you one day

I wish I could have all of the colours, they are so difficult to choose between!

[ubereglu]

I have some news...I've found out that this eglu is now for sale via the lady who was on the stand-she's also on the pekin bantams site!

 

She's going to get back to me next week as she's not at work this week. Wish me luck!

[Laura & CTB]

Thanks for the encouragement.

My eglu fund is up to £155.50 now. But I do have another 2 orders on the way. The suspense is killing me at the minute as I won't get to find out the price of it until next week.

[ubereglu]

I get to find out the price of it tomorrow! Can't wait, it'll have to wait another week on the money front as I should have enough then!

 

As I have 4 orders on the way and my birthday's coming up!

[ubereglu]

Found out how much it was today-£300. Going to try and haggle with them majorly. And I found out that it was actually being sold from Omlet, but is actually only in Somerset! GRRR!!! Far too much money as it's second hand too.

 

I'll have to raise over £100 now. NOT FAIR!
