DucktorWho Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 1p!! Bargain! I might potter off now to see what they have... I found a nice one at castinstyle.co.uk . I had forgotten that P+P would probably be high on it with the weight until I ordered it, and by that point I'd convinced myself I needed it Ours are in stacked Omlet boxes until it arrives. I saw a couple in Woolies the other day, they hold 6 eggs, £2.99. They are a wire 2D chicken shape with wire circles around the base on a wooden stand. I'd already ordered this other one or I might have got two of those (one for Betty's one for Elsie's!) The circles looked quite large though.

Cinnamon Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Hi, Further to my earlier posting, the one I bought from ebay is pretty, but has turned out to also be pretty useless, as it only holds 6 eggs, & big ones at that. My girls are producing 3 a day, but they are little still & just drop through the hole! I went into Henley today & found the most gorgeous wire chicken shaped basket in Cargo, which is unusual because it is in brown wire, so looks really rustic. It is a lovely shape, really round & fat looking They have a website http://www.cargohomeshop.com/shop-product.aspx?pid=6767 It looks better "in the flesh" & will hold lots of eggs. I just need to remeber to rotate them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Oh very nice! Good site too! Might have to part with some pennies there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicola H Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I like that Sarah were did you get all those eggs ................Have you been saving them up just to go in your new egg holder or are they from your adopted flock............

Lesley Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 That looks great Sarah - but why haven't they phoned me yet It's obviously better to use mail order than call in to the shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahJo Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Have you been saving them up just to go in your new egg holder or are they from your adopted flock............ ..6 are from Mrs Snowy and Ginger ... from the top down, and then the next 6 are from the adopted mob . I used the fact that we get and use alot of eggs, as the excuse for having a bigger holder, my last one held 8. That looks great Sarah - but why haven't they phoned me yet It's obviously better to use mail order than call in to the shop Lesley, I ordered a few weeks ago, and have only received the egg holder today. There is still a pending fruit basket, and banana tree and a steel t-bag bin . All the items are supposed to be from Graham for Xmas, but the kitchen is being done in Nov, so theres no point in hiding things away NOW is there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
