Eglu cube or go up with 2m run

[daxigirl]

I promised I wouldn't get carried away with chickens but have now just bought a secondhand for the girlies to have as a holiday villa at my mum's house in Kent (well going to Kent my excuse is she wouldn't like the in her garden). I also have a on order but I'm wondering if Omlet will let me change it to a . The girls weren't phased by the colour change at all, much to my surprise although they didn't seem keen on the grey plastic roosting bars as opposed to their previous wooden ones.

 

The in me says that I really need the cube so I can have some more chooks and the second eglu to do intros with.

I am so with you on this daxigirl In only have a single but got a on order. I keep browsing the used ones for sale on ebay ... cause you never know if ones going to come up for sale local and at right price. I only have 2 chickens but feel the serious need for more.

 

It like an obsession. wonder if there is an organisation that can help with it. Imagine joining... my name is Deb and I am an eglu-aholic.

This forum is evidence of many addicts!!

Well I think that you all need to get a grip of yourselves. Fancy getting obsessed withplastic hen houses.

 

Tut! Tut!

These are famous last words around here...

I'm so glad I'm not alone in this. Looking at the signatures on the replies I'm not really that bad yet.

 

In my defence the pink one was only round the corner (unbelieveable luck) and a great price. Didn't feel at all tired after my night shift and happily spent the day (yes the whole day) cleaning and swapping the 2 eglu's around. House work never manages to have the same attraction, funny that.

 

Now I'm wondering about some hatching eggs for my barren lot so sit on next year!!

I think that you are as bad...you have two eglus and a cube and you haven't been collecting as long as some of us.

Karlotta when did you get that lot?

The chooks or the eglus/cubes?

 

Either way I'm going with the 'they followed me home' excuse...

 

Does it say something that I don't have room to add my runner ducks and their snazzy new Green Frog Designs duck house to my signature?

[Plum]

You're as bad as the rest of em.

Hold on a sec, the doesn't come for another couple of weeks and the boring, sensible side of me says I should cancel the order but I really would like to get some more chooks. Regrettably the will have to go once the intros are over (and to help pay for the ).

But once the has arrived, technically you have already paid for it so the could stay - in theory!

 

 

And then you could get a to match the 'cause it might get lonely.

[daxigirl]

Don't I've already nearly filled the before it's arrived.

 

Although the Jersey hybrid I bought (if you can say that about a freebi) on the Omlet site was gone, the Barnevelder is only 5 weeks & is highly likely a boy & I've not been able to contact the CC Legbar man. Have found a lovely lady with some more Araucanas which I haven't resisted.

 

I've been eyeing up the leanto greenhouse which isn't used and thinking of converting it to a walk in which would only need the house bit then.

 

Getting rather excited about the . Haven't told my family, I feel a bit like a naughty child.

[Janty]

You wait. You'll have multiple before you know it. You've caught the bug.

 

[daxigirl]

I'll need to move house, I can just imagine being on relocation relocation with Kirsty and Phil.

 

Well my main requirements are somewhere to accomodate my Omlet collection. Oh and something for me and the dogs.

I'd swap the pink for the purple cube. the purple is lush!

I don't know your situation but I am suddenly single after 21 years and my chickens have become my focus and yes an obsession I can spend money on myself without feeling guilty - I felt frustrated yesterday because I don't actually need another eglu but would still like one

[daxigirl]

Your WIR picture on your signature looks really good, so clean and tidy, I bet you look for matching accessories, I confess that whilst in Ikea I picked up a pink stool for them to sit on in the run and a white perching bar (clothes hanger which should be the perfect size for the cube run). Only 1 sleep to go.

[scarlettohara]

That's exactly what I do and I have added an extension on for the bantams which is all pink with a
