taken the plunge!

[lainey lou]

Well, we've been and gone and dun it! The chooks are arriving on 27th!! Whoop whoop! Can't wait!!!!

[Paul Wagland]

Wow, what are you getting? Have you got the run all set?

Our birds are laying like there's no tomorrow at the moment, but they can't half eat when they're working that hard!

[shirlthegirl43]

Lucky you Lainey Lou, we are still trying to work out how to build our run!!

[lainey lou]

Well I have cheeted a little
Been working extra shifts and saving hard for an Eglu and 3 chooks.
Can't wait for them too come, even my neighbours are getting excited!

[Birdie Wife]

So pleased for you! Hope all goes well with the new arrivals - when do you get them? What are you getting?

[HeyWayne]

Cooel, are you allowed to keep them at home?

We're not allowed to keep livestock at our house - it's in our deeds. I could on the plot, but don't have the room.

Bet you're excited though! Let us know when you name them - as I'm sure you will.

[francesbean]

Sorry i'm rambling.

I have also been looking at the Eglu website, just for a look, its very good, I've now ordered the Brochure, just for a look.

They are at Gardeners World Live next week, which i'm visiting, might have a look.


Its interesting though Wayne, that apparently our deeds state no pigs or Chickens at this house, which is my OH's late fathers house, so my OH lived here since being 3 and they had up to 18 chickens at anyone time.

They never knew about the no chickens rule, the neighbours certainly dint. And I doubt if anybody cared. Back then the neighbours certainly dint as apparently they used to queue up to buy cheap eggs.

I wonder what would happen if we did get chickens now, who would do what to us..?

Interesting deeds don't say why no chickens. My neighbours are keen on burning household rubbish often because they still cannot work out refuse collection days, hence bins overflow so they burn it. I have to tolerate that...i'm ranting and talking rubbish now so I will go and get a beer, calm down and watch Gardeners World.

Tell us more about your chooks lainey when you get them.

I'm picking up half a doz ex bats on Sunday from just south of Oswestry. The lady said they've found homes for 1200 birds. Any other grapes doing the same this weekend?

[Pumpkin Becki]

You lucky thing Lainey Lou! I'm very envious. I've got to be patient and wait til my new house is built before we can have ladies ourselves.

[JILLY JACKSON]

Your Chickens like pink...? How do they feel about Maroon..?

the Eglu costs from £360 to £700, but a cut-price version is set to go on sale this summer for about £200. Plastic hen coop brings fresh eggs to masses - Times Online

[yoanbob]

yeah! nice one lainey lou!

[seasprout]

I had a good look at the Egloo's at GWlive, and was very impressed. Saw inside a unit, which has always been a mystery to me whats in there.

It seemed really small for 3-4 chickens...i suppose the chickens they supply are small to fit...??
