Snowy Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Xray lady regularly posts on here, she is from the US and has an album in the gallery showing how she protects her chooks from extreme cold. It is possible! I'll try to find a link. Found it! Here's the link to the thread on the US forum: http://club.omlet.us/forum/viewtopic.php?t=72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xChicken04x Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 Thanks for that! iam now trying to persuade my auntie to get some but she says no because she would feel too guilty if they died of frostbite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 There are specific "winter/cold hardy" breeds available in countries with extreme climates and where very low winter temperatures occur. I cannot think of the names of any, but a quick search on Google should retrieve some results... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 omigod - there's a US Forum? Is it like a parallel universe - I had no idea there was one there as well! I hope they have as much fun as we do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they have as much fun as we do Ans: There is, it is & we do. Parallel universes present some problems though, Olly. For example,we must be careful to never meet. If an Egluowner encounters an anti-Egluowner, theory predicts mutual annihilation in a puff of neutrinos. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first looked for an Eglu on Omlet I found the US site & I wondered if Eglu's were an American product that some forward thinking person had decided to import over here. I soon discovered the true history of Omlet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
