The Managing Director Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 Martin you've hijacked the thread I shall let you know if we are ever parting with the yellow eglu but the CA and I are still working on the 3 eglu plan!!! Did I imagine it or was there a survey a while ago that showed that chickens laid best in a pink eglu?? and if so was that before the purple eglu came out?. Murdo is still holding out for no new chickens (and therefore no need for an immediate decision) until the spring. However when the CA appeared today and said the 2 new girls weren't happy in the rain and I replied 'shhh daddy doesn't know about the new girls yet' there was a long pause from the kitchen.............sadly the CA is a little young to carry off the hoax and rather too quickly admitted she meant Sorrel and Daisy , I tried to recover the situation by explaining that the new girls were Speckled Stars and therefore well camouflaged.... even swiftly asigning them names (Daphne and Primrose) in the hope that he would just assume he'd totally failed to notice 2 extra hens that morning but had to admit defeat when he said ' there's no way there are two new chickens down there you'd be much more stressed in case they were being pecked !!' Still we had him for a minute and he didn't look that upset at the idea so who knows in fact he actully came and checked my sig here to see if there were any new hens on it because he still wasn't sure it was a joke (and it was pouring down so going down the garden to check didn't appeal) Of course afer todays downpour Blossom and Daisy are brown anyway so I could probably sneak a couple fo white hens in easily enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Sorry for hijaking the thread. Pink definately did come out on tops as the best egg laying eglu. It was also before Brown and Purple! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
