Henhathnofury Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I read your earlier post and was so sad that I couldn't help - I have a sick chicken in a cardboard box in the evenings at the moment. Luckily it's hot and she loves it! But you deserve some better luck and a hot pink eglu is great. Good for you. I'd be excited too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atsw Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Well done . I'm collecting a new next Monday, and also very excited about it, so I quite understand how you're feeling. Good luck with the red-mite eradication in the main hen house, that was tough, it's such a great looking house. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen & co. Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Brill news about the lovely pink eglu I love your original hen house too. Don't give up on getting rid of the dreaded red-mite though I dismantled our cube and eglus at the weekend, even managed to finish off in the biggest downpour for months but there were hundreds of the little beggers lurking between the layers of plastic where the front of the eglu attatches to the base, even though the girls were sprayed 2 weeks ago, and I use red-mite powder each clean out Karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teri Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 i was originally very when i saw pictures of your wonderful chicken house, now i am even more i got my chickens and their home before knowing eglu's existed i'm now going to have to wait until my original chuck pen dies a death before i can persuade hubby that an iglu is a much better idea then all i'll need to do is persuade him that pink is the best possible colour for chickens to have. do you think he will believe me if i told him pink increases egg production?????

*mummy_hen* Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Thanks all - we are currently re-thinking our WIR, going to extend the run each side, change the roof to clear corrugated plastic, etc. Her house itself will be the egul obviously...am a little worried though that Karen still had mites in her eglu...i was hoping the plastic would help stop the problem as long as i treated her!! Need to treat the frame itself and will continue to do so and hopefully all will be well. My only issue is the duck house also lives in our WIR and this is wooden, i don't think mites can live on ducks but do you think it would be worth changing this to a ducklu? I will treat this also with the poultry shield once i have managed to get hold of the damn stuff....is impossible around us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henhathnofury Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I got mine from Flytesofancy - if only you lived closer I would pop it round for you to use. It came the next day too - great service! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*mummy_hen* Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Thanks Henhathnofury - i think i will order from them tonight and hope it will be here by Wednesday. I had seen it on their website but wasn't sure how long it would take to reach me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 congratulations can't wait to see some pics i love the i'm trying to decide what would go best with my , can't decide between the and the I'd buy purple as it's a lush colour. It doesn't show the dirt as much as lighter colours (I have a green eglu and a purple cube). Also it's darker to sleep in so the chooks don't get up as early in purple than in green!!
