What makes a chicken coop easy to live with?

[izzys-hens]

so ive seen the yellow eglu classic on ebay the other week,

however i have never seen the brown has anybody got one?

were they limited edition, ive looked on google images and cant find one single picture.

i think they would look great if you had a couple and a couple of green ones.

Dont know but I'm waiting for a nice aga cream

I asked this once and The Dogmother said this

 

The brown was 'guest colour' back in the days when they made some colours in limited numbers to see if they'd sell - lilac was another one.

 

So I'm guessing they just didn't sell and were soon s"Ooops, word censored!"ped!

 

edit-wrong name!!

Well it would blend in with the poo and mud!

mmmmm chocolate eglu

[hammy72]

I like the idea of a camouflage effect but in girls colours like pink and cream or chocolate and cream, even if it was just that the base and pop hole were a different colour from the main house part (like the fried eglu)

I think that the brown would have been lovely - does anyone have one to post a picture ?

[ubereglu]

Someone on here did buy one, can't remember who though.

[Cooks]

I remember seeing a picture of one on here a whole back now, but IMO it's just the wrong shade of brown, it was like a cow had done a whoopsie in your garden. I love the bright colours.

[The Dogmother]

You're right, it wasn't an attractive colour it was a guest colour at the same time as purple, but only the purple sold in enough numbers for them to continue the colour. Lilac was another colour which didn't hang around for long.

so what about blue, i love my blue eglu, why didnt they continue that?

[Cooks]

your right I have never understood that IMO it's a better colour than the pink but then that's just me

I understand that it just didn't sell, so they discontinued it when they stopped the lilac ones.

Would look to swap the shells over with a and so you have a green door + tray and brown top

 

Remember seeing a photo but can't remember whos it was!

[Sam]

Is this it?

 

It's not quite the or the !

Description says it's light brown

[Redwing]

I dont think so, that could be a very faded red, orange or pink one maybe its a Mk 1 so must be pretty old

 

the brown was a Mk 2 I think and a dark brown

 

There was a pic of it on here, I've found the old thread but the pic links are broken sadly

[The Dogmother]

That looks like a very dirty orange Mark I to me.

 

The Brown one was Mark II and a deep brown, somewhere between milk and dark chocolate in colour. Can't find any photos of one though.

[Sam]

Ahh thanks both, I just couldn't work out what colour the eglu is/was! Suppose it must be a few years old though!

And so the brown eglu remains elusive

[The Dogmother]

It was around roughly 4 years ago, possibly 5.

I have an elusive chocolate brown eglu! It was indeed a limited edition and was purchased when launched in June 2006.

It has been a happy home for my girls ever since, however I have recently rescued some ex-batts and am going to move them all in together to some larger accomodation.

[poppy ben grace]

Wow, i like that! Looks thanks for the pic.

[Henergy]

I like it

Very 'Dairy Milk'

[Sam]

Thank you for posting a photo! I really like it actually

 

Hope your ex-batts settle in well

[harveypup]

No problem. I really like it too, it is just simply not big enough for my expanding flock
