Now you see it ( again)

We've had an Eglu and kept hens when we were 'down South' ( Down South includes
places like Wick , Inverness and even Aberdeen ).
It got brought up here  , and was used for the ducks  used the tied down for the winter. 
The ducks didn't use it that much, preferring to shelter behind the wooden  fencing we had erected.  I think the duck version   of the Eglu has a bigger door .

So with more cockerels coming ( Im relieving a friend of  their excess birds) its time to make a houe for them and so the Eglu has been relocated.

So it has been taken apart, moved to the other side of the Burn and re-erected this time on its wheeled base , to provide a nice  home for our new cockerels

Not sure how long the new cockerels will be in residence though. i can guarantee them a pleasant , free-ranging, but not indefinite time there. 

Now you see it , Now you dont,

We have had an Eglu for many years . We  started with  one of the very early ones  ( I think we had No. 6 off the production line)

and then things changed and we got a bigger one and put it on our own platform

and then we got an Eglu Cube and at one point had 10 hens, rescued  by the British Hen Welfare Trust 

Initially we weren't going to take the Cube to Orkney, thinking it would be too windy, but after talking to some hen keepers on Sanday, which is a bit flatter and probably a bit more exposed than where we are , we have changed  our view and we are going to take the Eglu Cube up North, so its been dismantled and stored and in due course will go in the trailer.

So now you see it

 and now you  don't
