hibbyjint Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Well having been on here the last couple of weeks discussing WIRs and finally making the decision to go for a I popped onto order it last night only to find out that the price has gone up £20 No warning which is a pity as I now think it is too expensive - considered it borderline before. Now reconsidering ......... so has anyone on here got an Oakdene "Dorking" chicken house? This apparently holds up to 6 chickens which would save buying another Eglu later (we are planning on 3 chickens to start - thinking we'll add another 2-3 at a later date), has a slide out floor and is meant to be easy to clean. Any feedback would be most appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emchook Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Have you considered getting a second hand eglu from ebay? I got mine and it was a lot cheaper than brand new.. I ended up with an extension run, omlet netting and eglu with glug and grub and winter and summer shades for just over 300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I forgot to say to you when you were here, you can phone and ask Omlet if they have any reconditioned eglus which are usually £40 less. Mine was reconditioned and you honestly couldn't have told - there wasn't a mark on it. All the extras were new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hibbyjint Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Thanks for the tips guys. Will call Omlet again - called today as couldn't see where the extra £20 was coming from! Re ebay yes we have been trying but those for sale have been down south with collection only. Did contact 1 Scottish seller through this site but needless to say it was gone! Thanks a lot.
