karlotta Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 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?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Seeing as they use the word 'buzz', it may be something to do with bees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutti Frutti Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I'm guessing a new patterned Eglu. Camouflage? Woodgrain? Candy striped? Encrusted with Swarwovski crystals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 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 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutti Frutti Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmommasally Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Please let it be a WIR, I'm still dithering over ordering mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docsquid Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I guess it might be bee-related too. Maybe a half-sized (i.e. single-hive) beehaus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Seeing as they use the word 'buzz', it may be something to do with bees. They use the phrase 'eggcited' too though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlotta Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 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!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutti Frutti Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 No not just yours What about a bee cam (webcam) for hive watching. Perhaps its just a new design honey jar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"WHERE'S THE BEDROOM GONE?"... Or is it just my chooks that are daft? No, mine would be just like that too. Bokking around all necky and puzzled and trying to roost on the windowsill!

The Dogmother Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlotta Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Woodgrain. Don't you love grand announcements of 'secrets' when everyone already knows Maybe the 'leak' was intentional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 If its anything like the woodgrain upvc products we use,it will look very,very good indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Hmmm, I'm still not convinced. I'm not a fan if fake wood though, so probably not giving and impartial view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Rosie suggested that a tie-die effect one would be 'cool' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 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 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
