ubereglu Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Do any of you guys know about any competitions where you could win an eglu. I don't want to insult my Dad by buying a 2nd hand one as he built my lovely wooden coop. Plus I've fallen in love with the eglu...So really would like one.

Mrs Frugal Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Bought mine in June 2004 but have put in a request for a reconditioned second hand blue one (*fingers crossed*) so that we can have another hen. Can't have 2 Eglus in the garden here unfortunately - that would mean I could have 7 hens (heavenly) but if I do get a second hand one, the old one will go into storage until we move to somewhere with a bigger garden. Can't afford to buy another if we move so I'm going to keep it. I did offer it to my brother but he's declined the offer saying he's not into chickens . What's wrong with him???

Mel (& Paul) Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 When Brenda sent me my extra large t-shirt she sent a great postcard from Omlet with a blue eglu and ducks (a duckloo I guess then!)

ali-s Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Bought a new one in April. Now trying to save for another, probably a reconditioned next time. The Grow Your Own magazine has had a couple of competitions for an Eglu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 I started off with a wooden chicken house, but it leaked and was poorly made. I quickly moved onto a second-hand eglu. The eglu is pricey, but it's a triumph of design and practicality. I am kicking myself for not getting an eglu in the first place - I should have just stretched to it. The bottom line is - if you are thinking of getting a small chicken house for two to three chickens - just pay the money for an eglu (somehow!) - you can't go wrong.
