looks like i might have to change from to as husband not wanting a bright colour in the garden and wants to blend in

to be honest the cube is brilliant so even if you do have the change colour the colour is immaterial green is great and does blend brilliantly IMO

I started off with a previously loved for my first girls ..I then added a PL which used to live a few miles along the road for my batties.........soon after that I "adopted" a with 4 Orpington in situ............then a recon arrived so the batties & the originals could all move in together (they didn't BTW, the originals went for a sleepover with the Orpies & never moved out so did 2 of the batties after a while ) at this point DH felt the Omlet invasion was too great & I rehomed my to a friend & his 2 Golden Partridge Pekins . Some time later I saw a many miles away (West Sussex to Darlington ) but was a very good price & gave us the impetus to visit old friends we hadn't seen in yonks, so not such a horror ........I've just realised I've missed out the PL which arrived shortly before the ...................erm I think I may have a small addiction problem as I'd dearly love another again and maybe even a or a one day too

 

As you can see a rainbow garden is my aim nowadays....nothing lives in it long enough to flower, so it's the only way to add colour these days

I have as I didn't want green (too boring). Dh didnt want pink or orange. Lilac wasn't around then. I am not a red or blue person person at all. I would love a brown but that happened pre and post me buying mine. If I was buying again now dh is broken into the idea I might try for an orange one

I usually get "you are mad " as a response, I prefer yours

 

I'm about to go out & get the ready to put Missy Stroppy Pants Blossom in so she can get over her pancake impression & leave the nestbox to the other Pekins who are terrified of her bad temper ....and make a phonecall to acquire some "babies to be" for her DH will not be very impressed

We got a purple because it was DDs favourite. DS1 wanted green - too boring for me so I ignored that, DS2 couldn't decide and I didn't consult OH in case he remembered he had agreed to this (I don't think he believed I would go ahead).

 

We then got a pink second hand which looks absolutley perfect beside .

 

The chooks prefer whichever house they are not assigned to I'm sure they think I give the best food to the others

I've just had a lovely purple cube. It is luxury compared to our very old wooden coop. Hens have adapted so well. I had to show them how to use the glug but everything else has been straight forward. Also, it is so easy to clean. It isn't rat proof though - the wire mesh needs to be smaller. I will have to cover mine with a much smaller wire meshing.

I just got a delivered this morning. I actually missed the delivery while walking my son around the corner to playschool and had to ring the head office in a panic as I had been assured the delivery guy would ring in advance. Luckily he was still in the estate and they sent him back

 

The boxes are huge. I had 5 kids from 3yrs to 7yrs playing in the big eglu box until they collapse it

[greyhoundgirl]

I have a and I love it. When we finally decided to go ahead with getting a cube I was prepared to go with a as a compromise but OH let me get my favourite colour, bless him! I'm with the thinking that you have a huge placstic box in your garden why try to disguise it ?!

 

Today DD and I bought lots of lovely purple plants to put in the purple pots around the base of the cube. Lovely, lots of purple. What a happy colour.

We have a yellow eglu !

 

 

They don't make them anymore - but I notice they make the Eglu Go in yellow. They stopped making the yellow Eglu classic in yellow as some people said they had problems with flies - but we never had that issue in the town or the country houses we have had it in.

 

So pleased we got a yellow one when you could... just ordered a green cube, which should go ok together.
