SHUT UP!!! A Suburban Chicken Coop!


That's it!! I am getting hens!! And in the morning... I'm making omelets! I might wait until I get back to Astoria to get them because I am pretty sure Matt will NOT be pleased with that pet project! I gotta chase down that Croc man and get some matching yellow ones.... But SOLELY to collect the eggs!! Pinky swear!
I am going to call the hens...
Petunia and Ethel!

Now you don't need to live in the country to have farm-fresh eggs. The Omlet Eglu — a compact, environmentally friendly, and downright cool-looking suburban chicken coop — will make its American debut in March. Introduced in England, the Eglu gained widespread attention when it appeared in the London Times, and the resulting must-have stampede was enough to cause a temporary chicken shortage throughout the capital. It's no wonder: The contraption looks like an iMac, is made of easy-to-clean, recyclable plastic, and comes complete with everything from feed to egg boxes — there's even a reassuring 30-day money-back guarantee. The only requirement is a 20-square-foot yard. (Two hens are included with the British version, but the company hasn't yet decided if it will offer the same deal in this country.) Suburban farmers can expect to collect from 8 to 12 eggs a week. (About $600; 011-44-845-450-2056; omlet.co.uk; info@omlet.co.uk)
