Jools Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Just thought I'd post this link here incase anyone is thinking about hatching this year ... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=011&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=320095473619&rd=1&rd=1 These make great broody/chick accommodation and this one could be a real bargain. Do you think Omlet will bring out a Mark 4 ... a baby version for the broodies amongst us??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Woah! It's taken over a year for us to get a mark 3 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 The bus fare from Sheffield to pick this item up is a bit steep! The "Mark 4" is a fab idea....why not contact them at HQ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 The Guinlu would work well as a broody ark - no need for a Mark4 I use a Mark 1 or 2 Eglu with the roosting bars taken out for a while. Then I put the roosting bars in but on top of Aubiose and fill in most of the gaps with Aubiose so there is nowhere to get legs trapped. Eventually they use the roosting bars as normal and Aubiose in the droppings tray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 If anyone wants a broody ark, some friends of mine are selling their 'brand new, never used' Guinlu (red), PM me if you're interested. I'd have it myself if I had the cash (£250-ish). I'll post it in the 2nd hand section when they give me the go ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Cool!!! I'm still trying to find a buyer for the wooden coop we had before the eglu! Hopefully I'll have some more interest now it's springtime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Don't tempt me Those cute chicks on the forum,.I get excited when Abbie sits down when she preens in case she gets broody and I can rush out and buy a maternity wing, and eggs. I'd love a broody ark, I'm sure the price will ramp up in the last few minutes though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jools Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 Just a quick note for all those planning to hatch this year and are looking for a cheap and cheerful broody ark (instead of an excuse for another eglu ) ..... keep an eye on e-bay as this one only fetched its reserve of £30, which makes it a real bargain! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=011&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=320095473619&rd=1&rd=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jools Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 Don't batter yourself too much Chocchick - some of them go for a lot of money. I think it all depends on timing, promotion and location. This one looked a bit grubby and in need of some tlc, but the clean and sparkly ones go for much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
