Redwing Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 No eggport No but if the nest box and bars are interchangeable as james says then you can put the nest box at the back next to the door It will also be easier to lift chooks in and out if you take them out at dusk to do treatments etc.. It will also be easier to attach that to a WIR as you only need to be able to get to the back as opposed to the side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I wonder what colours it comes in besides red and yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I think that I prefer the original eglu shape. Me too, but its growing on me. Being cheaper than the eglu "classic" will be a bonus to new chook owners & existing Omleteers It comes in green too, just look in the shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 oooooh yellow! I think I prefer the existing eglu shape but can see the benefits of the new one. A door on the SIDE of the run....i am sure I have seen that before somewhere!!!! The Grub looks bigger too...or am I imagining it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 It's decided - ours will be yellow when we eventually get round to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Chick Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Not convinced here James - I NEED a nestbox divider for the cube, now that your boffins have made the Beehaus and the "Go" can that be their next project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Sorry folks but I dont like the look of it at all - prefer my original eglu mark2 feel they would have been better with a walk in run type of product. Dont shout at me please... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I do much prefer the shape of the Eglu Classic, it's not a patch on that. However, as a cheaper alternative I'm thinking of one as a broody coop, but need to know if the bars could be removed to suit the chicks. I also think they would be able to escape easier out of the back, whereas with the egg port you could control who got in and out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patricia W Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Nice to know we have " Classic" Eglu's.... sounds very posh..... Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Just shown hubby & we both want one! So we are saving up for one or two now. We love the yellow..what other colours are there & do you have to build it yourself? We will be keeping our classics too. We like how the back opens out on the new one & the large water drinker. Lets face it chooks love to dunk their heads when drinking. Well done Omlet! P.S wonder ho long it will be before we see eglu go's appearing in our signatures?

Lewis Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) I really like the back door opening and pull out slidey tray, but prefer the 'classic' shaped eglu and the old style grub + glug aswell. Not sure I'll rush out to get one, but would be interested Will be good to see one in the flesh tomorrow Edited October 8, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I wonder how long it'll take for one to appear on ebay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) hmmmmmmmm I havent looked yet as I am too scared. Why!? BEcause I have just jolly well spent lots of money on a 'classic' eglu. ________________________________________________________________________ Ok just looked and not happy as I would have preffered it AND saved money and only had my Eglu a couple of weeks. Not as fond on the shape but some of the features and the new feeder and drinker things I like and that I could have the door somewhere else as our door doesnt open full as garden not long enough. Grrrr In a huff now Edited October 8, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 hmmmmmmmm I havent looked yet as I am too scared. Why!? BEcause I have just jolly well spent lots of money on a 'classic' eglu. Has it arrived yet? Maybe you could swap the order over, I thought you could until the day before it was delivered (or something similar) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Omlet do a 30 day money back offer dont they? you would lose all the courier costs though I would imagine You could try putting it on ebay, its a popular colour and would probably sell for at least the late £200's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I can see the resale values of the classic falling now that there is a slightly cheaper alternative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
