Omlet Eglu: Now your chickens really can come home to roost
Just in from the UK is this stylish plastic chicken coop that's become an overnight sensation there, furnishing its owners with the freshest eggs ever.
Invented by four college students for a design-class project, the $600 coop comes with two chickens.
However, the U.S. version, arriving this spring, will require that you supply your own chickens.
Sorry about that, what?
The Eglu features a rounded exterior which doubles as a place to perch, a handy side hatch to retrieve your eggs, and an extendable wire-mesh run
so your chickens don't furnish
lunch for the neighbor's pet.
Choose from red,
yellow,
green
or blue.
If you prefer pink,
then order the T-shirt.

I too want one of these desperately...maybe some day when I have a yard, not a balcomy (sigh).
You can get them in the US at www.omlet.us, they're shipped from the UK, take 2 months to get here, and then they send you chickens from Iowa (or you can buy your own chickens). BTW: They're almost $800 - yikes! (I still *need* one)

I covet this. Wonder what happens in most US towns, to say nothing of gated communities with covenants, etc.
