scooter Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Hello everyone, After months of debating what to do I have finaly decided that the egloo is the answer. Its Going to arrive on Tuesday and then I will go looking for my little friends to inhabit it. Im very eggsited cant wait. Ive been looking through the forum and found it very reassuring that there are a lot of like minded people out there. I hope you dont mind but i might have to ask your advice from time to time as chickens are new to me (got 4 dogs 2 cats 3 horses and about 30000 mice.) Look forward to chatting to you all Regards Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I hope you're going to like keeping chickens!!! They're great, I'm getting my eglu soon too, but have had chickens since August last year in a wooden coop! They are one of the best pet's you could ever have.

scooter Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 Thank you all for your welcome. My next big step is which chickens to get for my green egloo. I have seen some bantams and think they are gorgeous. But was also thinking of getting a bigger chicken that lays decent size eggs. Any recomendations would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cute-chickens Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Hi Scooter: Welcome to forum - I have found it a huge help - there is always someone who has the answer. We have two lovely Gingernut Rangers who came from Omlet with our eglu. They lay lovely brown eggs every day - always 50-52g. Just delicious - well worth having your garden wrecked for! Lawn - what lawn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Cooks Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I keep chirping on about my little Araucana, who lays medium sized blue eggs, and is a really sweet little character too! However, what ever large breed you get, I am sure you will end up totally in love, as we all have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamsin Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Welcome to the Forum,You have made the right decision as the eglu is a great and easy wawy to keep chickens. Tell me more about your horses,I have two mares, a fell pony that is in foal,and a thoroughbred that I compete in dressage . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
