poppy ben grace Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Hi, bit of a nosey question but coudnt resist asking anyway! I love the fried egglu. Cant afford to buy one but reckon it would be a good investment( especially if you didnt use it!), if they have only made 50. Is anyone tempted?

The Dogmother Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Naaahh, reckon it'd be a pain to clean and show up the dirt like nothing else! There have been limited edition colours before and they haven't gone for that much more on re-sale... there was yellow, brown, lilac....

mostin Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I was wondering that too?? I think it looks awesome in the pictures, but there's no way it would look like that after 10 mins near my rabble!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I think it looks but agree about it being white - maybe not the best colour idea for the poo tray? Spose they're easy enough to jet wash though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_b Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I've just had a look at one in the warehouse and they come with a grey dropping tray to match the Eglu base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Sorry, not a fan - the white would always be muddy in my run, it's a cool idea but I prefer a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy-Deb Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 ooh I would so love one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammy72 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I would love one! Currently have a bought secondhand, husband not keen on the purple ones (even tho' it is my favourite colour...) but he did quite like the Fried Eglu (goes with his sense of humour of naming his chicken 'Tikka'). Could fit with my grand plan of getting an Omlet WIR so that I would have 2 housing areas if we get a couple more chickens and 7 metres of run space. I wonder how many are left - I will be jealous if you get the last one!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffy chick Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I love the look but don't think the white is practical. They have been on sale for quite a while now and still have some left after only making 50, which shows to me other people think the same.

hammy72 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 but if they are on TV in the morning I reckon they will sell out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kissinuk Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Only concern I would have is how dark are they inside in the morning? My purple eglu keeps a lot of the light out, not sure if a white one would? They do look good though, but would need a lot of pressure washes.

hammy72 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 According to this months newsletter there are only 5 left...so tempted...does anyone know if any of the other colours are available to buy just as an eglu but without a run?

speckleyboo Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I have one =) It's very pretty. We lost a chicken few weeks ago and wanted to get a bigger flock, this coming on sale was the perfect excuse to do it. We got 2 new girls yesterday (bringing our total to 4), so far it's still clean We do have aubiose on the base so hopefully it'll stay clean.

hammy72 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 speckleyboo - can you post a photo? would love to see it in a garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speckleyboo Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Here you go (clickable): It's quite a bright white, but so far the new chooks aren't getting up any earlier than the girls in the purple cube. I'm kinda upset it won't be used for long, just for integrating new chooks, and then as a possible hospital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
