Lewis Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Just been having a nose around and found: this. The pictures have all gone because it is so old, but does anyone have any new pictures of the Omlet offices, and that picture of the original eglu design This is a link to an article (the one on the other post doesn't work) from 2003 about the eglu!

Egluntyne Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Fascinating. I'd love to see pictured of the prototype Eglus. I love the way the topic meanders round to vacuum cleaners. It is pre Roomba clearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chook n Boo Mum Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Of all those inventions in the article, the only one I've ever heard of is the eglu...or is my life so sheltered I've missed the other wonderful things Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Well, not much has changed; the office is still 'untidy', just mpre partitioned off now into separate offices. They've taken over a couple more units in that block and have expanded the warehouse. The chooks aren't in pens any more; they have bio-secure units with classic FM playing for them.

Redwing Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I went to the Omlet offices last week, as Clare says they are untidy! crates of Eglu and cube bits outside (I could have done a pic n mix multicolour cube!) with stacks of runs and rolls of netting piled up Its a bit disorganised and shabby looking but they are all friendly I saw some things that looked like polytunnels - perhaps those are the bio secure runs for the chickens??? There is a cool cross section of an Eglu in the foyer Its a nice spot though, lots of green around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 I googled bio-secure runs and they're just walk in runs with a cover I was expecting a giant eglu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 As Redwing says, they look a bit like polytunnels, but have ventilation and extractors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there's a thought I'd love a cube with all it's bits in different colours. I'd love a cube ... Full Stop. Must go and shake my £2 coin money box.
