Yay Ive been looking at eglus on ebay and I have only gone and bid on one Fingers crossed I get it as I'm desperate to get a couple of new girlies, so need something for intros. After intros, then my plan is to try and hire it out if I can

 

Will probably get a couple of hybrids - maybe a black rock type and a speckeldy (so long as I don't get side-tracked into looking at pure breeds like that beautiful one in the recent post by somebody else with the fluffy thing on its head). Really I am looking for a couple of good layers like my Betty (Columbian Blacktail). Any recommendations? (My other current chicken is a Rhode Sussex, who it an "intermittent egg layer" )

 

Anyway, it all hangs on whether I manage to get an eglu

Good luck. When does the auction finish? How long have you got to wait?

 

Oooooo new girls...decisions decisions

Another 4 hours to go - the price keeps going up and up and Ive nearly reached my maximum

I looked at second hand eglus but decided to buy a new one as they seem to hold their value well. Good luck!

Boo I've been outbid again and I've maxxed out. Never mind, there are a few other ones still on there running over the next few days, so it will be interesting to see how much they are going for. Shame though, because this was a lovely red one (even though my absolute favourite would be a pink one). Unfortunately I cant afford to buy a lovely shiny new one Will keep an eye on EBay over the next few days............otherwise, if I cant get one within my budget then I'll have to go back to my original plan which was to buy a small wooden coop for intros

[auntielizzie]

Ok, well just one more bid then that really is it

[coppers]

Sounds just like moi . Good luck! Keep us posted.

Don't worry if you don't get this one. They are always popping up on EBay so you may still be lucky

We bought a rabbit one and then a conversion kit from Omlet, the rabbit ones don't seem to go for so much (that was a couple of years ago) and others on here have said just use the rabiit base but we did convert ours.

 

I have recently bought another through the omlet for sale area this time and have left it as a rabbit base as I am using it for chicks.

 

Good luck

i bought a rabbit one off ebay for about £90, then got the converter kit so in total it cost a lot less than a 2nd hand chicken one would have cost on there.

also a good idea for bidding on ebay is to wait until right at the end of bidding and put in your highest final bid- that way you arent tempted to go higher, and also you may just win it at the last minute as other people dont have time to enter another bid! saves paying for sniping software!

Oi!!! that's my trick

[auntielizzie]

Just got in, a little worse for wear as Ive been to a rather boozy party, and Ive only gone and won an eglu! Think I will sort it all out in the morning Think it will be for the best Red eglu with 3m run and extra shade for something like £280
