Nicola H Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I have been waiting all day for the rain to stop so that I could clean the chooks out, somebody has layed a softie in the poo tray so it has to be done..................I am so glad I braved the rain and cleaned them out because I found a lovely Blue egg waiting for me.......................Hurray!!!!! I did the running round the garden dance, the neighbours already know that I am nutty so don't worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley-Jean Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 That is the beauty of the eglu. Easy to clean and you don't really NEED to do it that often. A blue egg must be fabulous Nicola. Well done Bunty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocchick Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I hate to be a goody two shoes but being a weather watcher I knew it would rain today so cleaned them out yesterday and did there dust baths today need a halo emoticon! Can you tell I don't have children I wonder BBx I can be smug too Buffie. I cleaned out the eglu before my friend's 3-year-old came to visit yesterday. She has been looking forward to it "CHICKENS!" and liked Beth as I picked her up to stroke and did a hugging Beth gesture. She chased the chickens round the garden and was fascinated by the opening/closing action of the eglu door, but then so was Trinny who stood by to watch. I don't think I am on the same scale of cleaning (all hail Buffie) as I have never done their muddy little feet or beaks I am working on the thorough clean every 4-6 weeks principle, and emptying droppings tray weekly. Well done Bunty on the blue -is there a picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Thanks everyone I am still beaming ............ Hope it is a lucky blue egg. I will try to photograph it before the assistant chicken keeper eats it.................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 There is a photo of Ellie's blue egg somewhere in the Egg Gallery - an Omlet box with 5 different colour eggs in it. Here they are...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
