Chickpea Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I should be able to afford one after my work over the summer - and some new chooks of course Oh dear this is beginning to get into an obsession. I ought to go marry a farmer so I could have all the hens, ducks, piggies, lambs and cows I want! My parents blame it all on watching River Cottage...!

Paola Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Well done Pam Thank you Johannes for putting us in the picture Will be popping out tomorrow to pick up a copy of the newspaper I am sitting here in shock I almost cannot believe that we have finally seen it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Just had a better look at it and I am not sure For me it does not have the WOW factor of the Eglu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) Know what you mean Paola It starts to grow on me but then I keep changing my mind. It's sooooo different from the mark 1 and 2 which i think are fab - i think it just needs getting used..................not that there's room for 10 chooks in my garden and neither could my one legged chook make it up the ladder Anyway if I keep being indecisive........think how many pennies I'll save Edited March 9, 2007 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I can't see it replacing the Mark 2 somehow. Not everyone will want such a cumbersome item. I do hope they won't discontinue the Mark 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Phone Line's going to be a'glowing on Monday morn Absolutely Working late Johannes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 I hope they don't either...................I'm hoping that because it looks as though it's going to be sooooooo much larger and can hold so many more chooks and Omlet's initial idea was for people to be able to keep a few chooks in their garden that they'll keep selling the mark 2 aswell.

bronze Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I dont come online for one afternoon and look what happens. I wish I had known it was going to be so different. I prefer the syling of the first styles but the new shape is sooo much better for me. And when you add up the extention costs onto the original eglu its not going to be huge amounts more by th elook of it. Cant afford it now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 You could always sell your Mark 2 Bronze. They always fetch a good price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigchickenfan Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) Of course we're not going to stop producing the original eglu! The eglu cube is an entirely new product for those people, and there are a lot out there, who want to replace a rotten old house with an eglu (probably because you guys have told them how brilliant it is!) but they already have a large flock so needed something bigger. It's also for all those amazing eglu owners who want to expand their flock and would never consider buying anything other than an eglu. We did it for you! Omlet will always make products that you want, that means an eglu for people just starting with chickens and now one for people who are addicted to chickens!

Chicken Licken Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Wonder if they have test driven the wheels in the recreation of the Somme the girls have set up in the back garden!!! Expecting to unearth a full set of trenches from under the bark chips they have spread everywhere when I next go outside. I like my Mark 2 (and am broke so a mark 3 is out of the question ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) Thanks for clearing that up Wouldn't be without my mark 1 or mark 2 or rablu.................... ................hmm.....maybe i should be adding to the collection.......................
