Want to keep your very own chickens, and have fresh eggs every day?
I knew nothing about chickens two years ago, then I purchased an Eglu from Omlet.co.uk.
Eglu has been designed for the town garden, the first time chicken owner, the family and the eco-savvy individual.
They say it is supposed to be as easy as looking after a goldfish but more rewarding than owning a dog (you get eggs with chickens!).
Keeping a couple of chickens in your garden doesn't require a large investment of money or time, but you do get fantastic tasting eggs and a good feeling inside.
If you go for the package, you not only get a chicken house but a complete service as well. Conveniently delivered and installed in your garden, the Eglu Classic comes with everything you need to get started. We can arrange your delivery time to within a few hours so that you don't have to take the whole day off work.
A chicken chauffeur will bring your chickens, set up the Eglu Classic and show you how it works. He will also teach you how to clip the chicken's wings (completely painless), how to hold a chicken and answer any questions you might have.
The first time we clipped the chickens’ wings ourselves it was a bit scary, but very easy to do (I’ll show you how later).
The Eglu makes is so easy to collect your eggs ; the first time you get eggs is wonderful, and the taste amazing! It also makes it very easy to keep your chickens clean and hygienic.
Omlet say the following about Eglu
The Eglu offers a standard of living not seen before in chicken house design. It is fitted throughout with roosting bars and has an integrated nesting box . The chickens are kept warm in the winter and cool in the summer, thanks to modern twin-walled insulation. To make collecting your eggs easy, the Eglu Classic has an eggport which gives access to the nesting box.
Available in five colours, you can make a statement in red, be pretty in pink or keep it subtle with an Eglu Classic in green. Whichever colour you choose, you can be sure that it will look great in your garden now and in years to come.
Upkeep of this fantastic chicken coop is made easy via the innovative slide-out dropping tray and fully removable lid. Made from energy efficient polymers using modern construction techniques, the Eglu Classic will last for years and at the end of its life can be 100% recycled.
Every Eglu Classic comes complete with its own private secure garden area. A real innovation in keeping predators out this run has been specially designed for use with the Eglu.
The unique tunnel-proof panels have been proven in rigorous testing to be fox and badger resistant. The run means that when you are out and about you can be sure that your chickens are safe. The dark green PPE coating is fused to the metal wires ensuring an extremely durable finish that looks great.
It also comes with a Sunshade / Rain cover, water and feed containers, a bag of feed and 10 egg boxes
I don’t represent Omlet, but I am very impressed. If you would like to know more or order your own please see their website.
I also purchased two chickens; Roast and Muppet (Mups for short).
