Louise Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Hi all, Do you think the Omlet Boys have started a trend?? Check this out http://www.thepinkchickenhouse.co.uk/chickenhouse.htm I much prefer our one and at over £500 it is just a tad on the dear side What will all the wooden purists do now they have their own pink one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Brilliant. They're fab! Omlet are Trend Setters! (Bit expensive for a lick of paint don't you think ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted August 15, 2005 Author Share Posted August 15, 2005 Extremely Gina given that it houses 6 bantams or 4 medium hens just like the Eglu Still most folk seem to think we have more money than sense with our Eglus so its a case of live and let live (I'd rather have another Eglu though ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 One day Louise you'll have your lovely pink Eglu - you'll see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted August 15, 2005 Author Share Posted August 15, 2005 I can dream can't I Actually I am hoping by the time I have the cash they may have made a purple or lilac one Pretty please Omlet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahJo Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Coar blimey .... bit costly .. even the plant thingies Graham could knock up, and add a copper roof .. then I could paint and do the pretty bits for a lot less. Funny though ...... wonder what the wooden coop brigade think Bit like the flat pack styles on www.countyourchickens.co.uk .. I am off for a serious think about a "product" .... actually I already have one in mind for the omlet boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I saw those Sarahjo and thought they'd be a good place for a broody hen, albeit they are a bit pricey, but very appealing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 The pink hen house looks delightful, but there doesn't seem to be a run either. So adorable looking, expensive, no run. Give me an eglu anyday . Just to add, the blurb with it announces that chickens don't like getting wet. Whoever wrote that hadn't met my 3. Torrential downpours and they're out there, looking like drowned rats, but even with plenty of shelter available they'd prefer to stand there, and get wet . I think that easier worm hunting has something to do with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 oh yes, an easy sacrifice to make for a tasty wormy ( ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel (& Paul) Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Quite pretty, but am much more keen on the eglu - now if I can persuade him that I really really really want a pink chicken house, show him the price, and then say "oh I suppose we could just go for another eglu - they are cheaper..................."

Alison M Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Not as easy to clean out as an Eglu and will require maintainance. Still a haven for red mites with it being wooden. ROCK ON EGLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnieP Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 wasn't that raspberry beret? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 Yes Rasberry Beret was a Prince song off the album around the World in a Day but there is also Purple Rain off the album Purple Rain (closet 80's Prince fan ) Maybe that is where my obsession with purple comes from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Yes, Purple Rain was the one I was thinking of! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I prefer raspberry to purple. But then again, lilac would be nice.....still love my yellow one best though!! Although, a pink one would look very good next to it........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Well, I have to say with all this talk of pink, purple, raspberry and lilac, that I actually chose my green one over all the other colours because I love GREEN I just thought green deserved a mention there!
