Yokes! Er, Yikes!
Are you insane and English at the same time? If so, you may want an Eglu.

If you have been thinking about keeping a couple of chickens but didn't know what kind of coop to build or where to get some chickens from, well, you will be relieved to know Omlet can help.

We designed our coop and service for the town garden, the first time chicken owner, the family and the eco-savvy individual. We wanted it to be as easy as looking after a goldfish but more rewarding than owning a dog. 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.

Give your chickens the best! The eglu is a coop for the 21st century, featuring spacious open plan living for 2 medium size chickens or 3 bantams, it is a stylish and practical addition to any garden. Designed to be comfortable for the chickens and effortless for you, the eglu makes keeping chickens rewarding and fun.

Brilliant: Bring livestock into suburbia! You can even put straw down on your patio if you don't have a lawn. Chickens, according to the site, are intelligent, friendly, and clean pets.

Call me a crazy skeptic, but I'll take a puppy, thanks.

The site's loaded with recipes for boiled eggs and omelettes, yet fails to address what I'm really interested in: Barbecue.
