Omlet posted on The Facebook group and on Twitter on Friday -

 

hey everyone - bee sure to look out for an amazing new feature soon to be

published on the omlet website!! We are very eggcited about it &

it's sure to create a buzz!!

 

Anyone care to hazard a guess/info on what it might be??

[The Dogmother]

Seeing as they use the word 'buzz', it may be something to do with bees.

[Olly]

Well I wondered that - but they also use the word 'eggcited' so I wondered if it was just Omlet-speak. Unless they are producing a different shape of hive, I can't see what else they would be launching in bees.

 

I think it's going to be an Ostrichlu. Similar to the Eglu, but with extraheadroom!

 

Or maybe the time has finally come for the Piglu?

[Tutti Frutti]

Or WIRs? Or theft insurance? Or pet insurance? Or tables for stacking Eglus? Or Go run extensions? Or a Summer Sale? Or clearout of used/recon items?

 

But Olly, I LOVE your idea of a Piglu - good one :clap:

[Egluntyne]

I'm guessing a new patterned Eglu.

 

Camouflage? Woodgrain? Candy striped? Encrusted with Swarwovski crystals?

[Olly]

Hmm, I can see the hens pecking the Swarovski off in no time!

 

Perhaps an 'austerity' Eglu for these hard-pressed times, a bit like the utility furniture after the war? Wood veneer with cheap handles, and no trimmings, as I recall ...

[Space Chick]

New more reliable delivery company

 

I can't wait to find out, but my guess would be Go Run extensions..... there again I am always wrong

[Tutti Frutti]

Hmm but it says "Feature on the Omlet website" so I'm not sure it's a product

 

Something like... "Talk to us" button? Poor old Quin & Barbara would be handcuffed to their laptops

 

Ooh or a competition... or a rewards scheme!

 

Or a Cube run for the next person to hit 1,000 posts

[bigmommasally]

Please let it be a WIR, I'm still dithering over ordering mine

[docsquid]

I guess it might be bee-related too. Maybe a half-sized (i.e. single-hive) beehaus?

[Cinnamon]

Seeing as they use the word 'buzz', it may be something to do with bees.

 

They use the phrase 'eggcited' too though

[karlotta]

I'm guessing a new patterned Eglu.

 

Camouflage? Woodgrain? Candy striped? Encrusted with Swarwovski crystals?

 

I hope it's not a camouflage one.... I wouldn't be able to resist that!!

[chick wiggle]

Oh a WIR would be great, good timing for me too

But i love the thought of a pattened eglu too

ohhhhhh and the crystal one sounds lurvely Egluntyne

[Tutti Frutti]

Just not the camouflage one... can you picture your chickens searching for it, wandering around bokking loudly, heads stretched to the sky... "WHERE'S THE BEDROOM GONE?"...

 

Or is it just my chooks that are daft?

[Plum]

No not just yours

 

What about a bee cam (webcam) for hive watching. Perhaps its just a new design honey jar.

[docsquid]

No, mine would be just like that too. Bokking around all necky and puzzled and trying to roost on the windowsill!

[The Dogmother]

Someone on my course yesterday was told by Quin (at a recent show) that it's a woodgrain, or patterned eglu. It seems that everyone was being told and it's common knowledge

 

Seems that we're always the last to know

[karlotta]

Woodgrain!!!!? That might just be my most loved thing at the moment!!! Thank goodness I NEED an eglu to introduce a couple of Brahma I've got my eye on!

[Chucky Mama]

Woodgrain. Don't you love grand announcements of 'secrets' when everyone already knows Maybe the 'leak' was intentional

[The Dogmother]

I'm having trouble imagining how it might look I can't help the image of wood effect sticky backed plastic from leaping into my brain

 

I quite like the plain colours, I'm not too sure about multi-coloured ones, perhaps it will grow on me. I guess it will appeal to those who like the more 'natural' look of wooden houses.

[Cinnamon]

If its anything like the woodgrain upvc products we use,it will look very,very good indeed

[The Dogmother]

Hmmm, I'm still not convinced. I'm not a fan if fake wood though, so probably not giving and impartial view.

[Chucky Mama]

I am not a fan of plastic wood either but I suppose it depends how well it is done. I would rather have wood wood and plastic plastic myself

[The Dogmother]

Rosie suggested that a tie-die effect one would be 'cool'

[Cinnamon]

I would just like to see the grey bit come in nicer colours,so we can mix & match

 

Also a vivid Aqua blue Eglu would look wonderful (in my garden anyhow )
