chocchick Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Oh gosh another decision sorry about your chicken I think or I think turquise would be nice too. I wouldn't hold your breath for the mark 3. You sure you don't want some eglus to confuse things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Managing Director Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 I knew we'd get lots of helpful advice actually I have a plan but have to persuade Murdo I think it is pretty apparent thaat the yellow eglu is going to be a rare and valuable item so really should be hung on to!! Also have to say the CA and I both really like it , the issue though is space and just how much garden can be given over to hens!! So my latest brainwave is to keep the yellow eglu but take the extension off it and add that to the new eglu when we get it... leaving us with a small yellow eglu perfect for say... 3 bantams because a small yellow eglu tucked away really wouldn't make that much difference would it I love the idea of cadburys themed eglus but brown isn't available anymore is it? mind you is pretty good too but that is getting away from the point that we really want a purple eglu beginning to think that those who suggested had the right idea maybe we should go down Lesleys route, our friends already call us the farm and Murdo does keep mentioning goats and bees If they produce a turquoise eglu we are going to be in real trouble !! I think turquoise would be lovely but it would definitely go best with yellow(instant tropical holiday image) so we'd really regret having sold the yellow one then.. did they ever make a mark 2 yellow eglu does anyone know so as you can see the decision making is coming along nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Yes! I have a Mark 2 yellow Eglu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 So do I - it was the last one ever made. The doors went missing so they were orange - until I painted them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Oh, I didn't realise Annie! I'd love to help MD but it's too difficult. I do support the plan to keep the yellow as a third though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner.girl Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I just want them all now! Its such a tricky decision isn't it? I have a and i think or would go nice with that for the battery hens i'm trying to persuade OH to rescue (big no-no at moment but i'm working on it!) Not a big fan of pink but it would look nice with a purple eglu... Hummm. Its just like choosing wedding colour schemes again! (for the record i had red, orange and yellow as my wedding colours and that would make a nice eglu colour scheme as well!) Don't know why i am deliberating this as theres no way i could either persuade hubby or afford anoth eglu but heyho its nice dreaming!

But either or will have to go ........ I love them both and deciding to part with one will be painful. Hubby says that should go, it's the mark 2 and therefore probably worth more than my mark 1 , but I love my ...... and so do my hens- currently all 7 are sleeping in there and despite free choice of nesting boxes almost all the eggs are laid in . They queue up to use that nesting box... totally ignoring the vacant nesting box. But and do look nice together Decisions, decisions MD did you ever expect a sensible answer to your dilemma from us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Funnily enough Shona I also have a pink Grub & Glug, & the food & water ALWAYS goes fro those first. They only use the green if they really,really have to Maybe I should go for rather than when the MK3 comes out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin B Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 My idea is to save up for the yellow eglu! Purchase it and then loan the green one out to my cousins friend, who can't afford one but would love to keep chickens untill they can afford their own one! No way will I be selling any eglus!
