izzys-hens Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 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. camoflage from eglus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 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!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 mmmmm chocolate eglu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammy72 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henergy Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I think that the brown would have been lovely - does anyone have one to post a picture ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Someone on here did buy one, can't remember who though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that it just didn't sell, so they discontinued it when they stopped the lilac ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Is this it? It's not quite the or the ! Description says it's light brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 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 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 It was around roughly 4 years ago, possibly 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harveypup Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 [img][/img] 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.
