Helly Welly Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 ....and said would i agree to be interviewed by the Sunday Times regarding urban chicken keeping? I agreed, hopefully it will make people realise what great pets chickens are and they'll be less inclined to buy cheap chicken. Unfortunately i am now absolutely terrified!!!!! I've never been interviewed for anything in my life and, shock horror, they may send a photographer!! I hate having my photo taken My main concern is that my chooks are in a large run now, rather than the eglu runs, do you think i'll need to put them in the old runs for the photos. I've emailed Johannes to see what he thinks, i don't mind putting the eglus back together, just not sure how i'll explain the large run sitting in the corner of the garden!!

Guest Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Mmmm - a tricky one - i can see how people reading might then ask - if the omlet run is big enough - why is there a bigger run over there! let us know how it goes! Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helly Welly Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 Johannes looked in the survey section of the forum, i think at the "what do you do with your eggs" poll and saw that we sell a lot of ours and the journalist was looking at it from a mini-business angle. We got an order for 30 eggs today, thank goodness, as the fridge is full! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helly Welly Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 Buffie, i was going to buy a BHWT t-shirt to wear but i can't see the size i want on the website. Johannes says that it would be better to have the original runs for the photo, OH says that we can say the large run is because we are getting more chickens but i thnik i'll simply say that we thought they should be in their original runs for the photo so people know what they are getting when they buy an Eglu. Oh, and thanks guys, i'm totally panicking about what to wear now. Mind you, the journalist is yet to ring........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
