GIVE-A-WAY Over! Winner Announced!

April 3, 2012

For no reason other than I found this and love it, I am giving away one of these adorable egg beds to a reader. It is a pet bed called the pEi Pod bed and can be used for for cats and small dogs but why would you want to? Remove the sissy little yellow pillow that comes with it, add some bedding, throw in a broody hen and some eggs. Instant broody house!

pEi Pod Bed

  • A front-facing opening
  • Large and comfortable
  • Looks good
  • Made with washable, durable and recyclable material
  • Pod measures 23 x 16 x 17 inch
  • Cushion measures 18 x 14 x 2 inch
This little egg shaped bed is broody approved and personally endorsed by my Icelandic hen, Lukka. Believe me when I say, “Lukka knows a thing or two about being broody!”

If you would like a chance to win this bed, a $100.00 value, plus free shipping to your home, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post. On Friday the 13th of April at 5:00 p.m. the contest will end and the comments will be submitted to www.random.org where a winner will be chosen. Only one comment per household please. Good luck! We’ll keep you posted on the status of Lukka’s hatch!

CONTEST IS OVER!
The winner of the egg nesting box is commenter #48, Victoria. Below is the data from random.org.

    That just has to be the coolest chick-accessory on the market, so sleek! And it is very Scandinavian minimalist looking, perfect for Icees ๐Ÿ™‚ I have no brooder box yet, my three Hlรฉsey pullets are due to start laying next month so I would so absolutely love to have this, the girls would go broody in no-time just to get to move in…

  4. Sandra Hughes says

    April 12, 2012 at 8:20 pm

    Wow! That is so cool. Now we will never know which came first, the chicken or the egg. And made of recycled materials. Just like the stuff we get from our chickens.

    OMG that is soo cute! I had to Google “pEi Pod bed”! My girls would just love one of these. It’s much cuter than the covered kitty litter box they’re brooding in now.

    April 12, 2012 at 7:26 pm

    I just love it. Soo cute!!

    Lukka looks so at home in it and I’ll bet she’ll peck me if I try and take it from her. I am going to enter to win anyway and you can send it when she is done with it. LOL!

  8. Genelda says

    April 12, 2012 at 3:36 pm

    That is just cool! I am having trouble seeing anything but a chicken in it. Hard to believe it is for dogs/cats. I love it!!

  11. Shelby says

    April 12, 2012 at 11:10 am

    That is just to dag gone cute! I think any chicken would love it and look sweet as peas in it.

  12. Trish says

    April 12, 2012 at 9:05 am

    Now that’s a NEST EGG! Just be sure to tell Lukka not to put all her eggs in one basket ๐Ÿ™‚

  13. Linda T. says

    April 12, 2012 at 7:05 am

    That is SO cute! Thanks for offering it. ๐Ÿ™‚
    Thanks, also, for all the great hatching eggs.

  14. Knightie says

    April 11, 2012 at 8:14 pm

    That sissy yellow pillow can go to the chihuahua’s at my moms house and the egg can go to chickens!!

  15. Pat H. says

    April 11, 2012 at 7:18 pm

    That’s adorable! Good luck to Lukka – I hope she has a great hatch.

        Happy Days! I am thrilled and honored to have been chosen to received the

        charming and practical pEi Pod egg nest! By this time next week it should be

        occupied by 15 chicks hatched April 1st & 2nd along with my part Cochin foster

        mom, Speedy. Thank you thank you thank you!

    This is so cute-and if one of my chickens ever goes broody, I would love to order some Icelandic eggs for her. One of my Easter Eggers likes to sit in the nest box for hours with a very contented look on her face. I hope that’s a good sign.

  18. Michelle says

    April 10, 2012 at 10:05 pm

    How cute is that! It’s perfect for a broody.

  19. Johnathan Bullard says

    April 10, 2012 at 6:35 pm

    I would love that for our girls. A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E. Consider us entered :)<3!

  20. Kate B says

    April 10, 2012 at 9:37 am

    Love it! I’ve seen in advertised for cats – it is so obviously better for a chicken!

  21. Isabella B says

    April 10, 2012 at 7:49 am

    Not only is this the best broodie bed ever, it creates the best background for the photos of your hen and chicks to share on the web or even to created personal pictures when displayed on your wall. The egg being the most appropiate bed ever as well as the most unusual.

  22. Crystal D says

    April 10, 2012 at 6:11 am

    Would love this and would love some broodies too!

  23. Ruth S says

    April 10, 2012 at 1:27 am

    I love this. I need this.. Please and Thank you

  24. Cynthia B. says

    April 9, 2012 at 6:30 pm

    Mary, it’s really the perfect size and must be so easy to clean when needed! Excellent use of a dog/cat pet bed! Why on earth would anyone think of using an egg for a bed for a dog anyway, LOL? Very cool for a broody mama, though.

  25. LauraP says

    April 9, 2012 at 7:10 am

    It’s the perfect broody egg for the perfect broody hen. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  26. Tammy says

    April 9, 2012 at 5:41 am

    This is the cutest thing I have ever saw. I love the amount of room it gives the hen, and when the babies hatch they will not be over crowded. Great Idea and very nice of you to use one as a give-a-way.

  27. Ben says

    April 8, 2012 at 9:50 pm

    Wow! Thanks for such a generous giveaway! The only thing that could make this giveaway any better is if Lukka came with the broody box, as it appears that she is ( once again) unwilling to leave it! Jokes aside, I wish everyone good luck!

  28. Danielle says

    April 8, 2012 at 7:59 pm

    OMG, so cute! I would love to put a broody in there!

  29. Brett says

    April 8, 2012 at 4:44 am

    That is way better for chickens who would market that for cats & dogs

  30. Sharon says

    April 7, 2012 at 9:09 pm

    Love The Broody House Mary! I Must Have One! For Small Dogs And Cats, No Way! My Broody Hens Would Chase Them Out In An Instant. What A Great Little Egg Shaped Bed For All Broody Hens Such As My Spiker, And Your Lukka. Very Cute Idea Indeed.

  31. Heidi says

    April 6, 2012 at 11:51 pm

    Even cuter than you described Mary!! It’s perfect! ๐Ÿ™‚

  32. AK Michelle says

    April 6, 2012 at 11:01 pm

    Haha YES! Lukka does know a thing or two about being broody, She’s a good mama.

  33. Yvonne says

    April 6, 2012 at 4:02 pm

    OMG! That’s the cutest nesting box ever!!!!!

  34. Noncentzter says

    Lukka looks queenly in her new broody “box”, which is suited just for her! Very cool!!

    This is the COOLEST thing ever! Love the idea of using it for a broody house ๐Ÿ™‚

    April 6, 2012 at 5:44 am

    I love this idea. It looks like its the absolutely perfect size and even has a little lip. AND its the shape of an egg??? LOVE IT>

  37. Walli Johnson says

    April 5, 2012 at 11:08 pm

    I love it! I think I need a few for my new coop.

  38. lauren friesenhahn says

    April 5, 2012 at 8:21 pm

    Absolutely the cutest, broody nest box ever made! I would love to have this for my sweet snow white broody! I would be so EGGSTATIC to win this! Good luck everyone!

  39. Mary Ann Bittle says

    April 5, 2012 at 7:59 pm

    This is so completely cute! I so hope one of my young hens decides to go broody soon… *sigh*

  40. Melissa Heigl says

    April 5, 2012 at 7:58 pm

    This is a lovely idea for a broody box. I am not the lucky type, but I’d love to have a chance to win it! I have a little silkie hen that refuses to lay her eggs in the yard. She will only lay eggs in her dog crate. I have to carry her to it (it’s quite high up!) every day, or she’ll cross her legs and try to wait me out. I bet she’d get a kick out of that egg-shaped nesting box.

  41. Beth Stewart says

    April 5, 2012 at 7:02 pm

    A friend of mine is hatching Iclandic’s and I never heard of them before. So I did a search and found you & the adorable LUKKA! What a beautiful hen. And I’m in LOVE with this Broody Egg Bed! I know if I won this Egg Bed I would soon be searching for more to purchase for sure. We have a bunch of rescued ducks & chickens here. But it’s the Silkie’s who go broody…and of course they have the newest and best coop in the yard.(3 big coops so far) So this would be perfect for them!!! And future Icelandic’s too!!! Thank you for the wonderful pictures of your beautiful birds. Plus this exciting chance for a very interesting and unique brooder. I appreciate it! Yours Truly, Beth

  42. Tonya Taber says

    April 5, 2012 at 5:59 pm

    The makers were not thinking when they said for a dog or a cat. It is perfect for a broody. Lukka looks lovely in it too.

  43. jane says

    There is something magical about the shape of an egg. I loved it before I even realized that the shape I loved was that of an egg. Old American whiskey jugs were called ovoid. My parents have quite a collection in graduated sizes. My SW Indian pots w/ a high shoulder are standing eggs on end. Maybe the shape of a pregnant woman’s belly is an egg, head down? So one can only smile when you look at this broody box. My silliest broody house is a used French oak wine barrel. It lays on its side, w/ a “porthole” door and “porthole” access on the end for food and water. I can hardly wait for this snow to melt to put Marvel, the mottled Cochin banty hen in, with her Swedish Flower Hen eggs. Not quite ovoid but close enough. Love your fine birds! Jane

    What a fabulous contest and your blog is terrific, Mary. I’m always following your adventures here, and on BYC. Keep up the great work and have a terrific holiday weekend.

  45. lauren says

    April 5, 2012 at 5:44 am

    Oh thats super cute!! no poop on the broody ๐Ÿ™‚

  46. The Other Mary says

    April 5, 2012 at 3:13 am

    Mary, This is such a great idea!! You should contact the company/manufacturer and get a commission on all of these that sell from the time you posted this!! …and sell them your marketing idea!!
    My hens would look so much nicer in this than in the covered cat litter box that is now the broody nest!

  47. Shawn says

    April 4, 2012 at 9:36 pm

    Very cool Mary!! I thought I had my first broody yesterday of the year but she wasn’t on today…thought I had one for the chicks hatching this weekend… guess not.. On a bright note.. I think all my icelandics are now laying. The two youngest just started laying this week.. WOOT!!

  48. Mike says

    April 4, 2012 at 8:45 pm

    That’s a very creative use of a pet bed. It’s rather funny, a hen sitting on eggs, inside of an egg, very creative.

  49. LadyHawk says

    April 4, 2012 at 7:40 pm

    Oh goodness…it comes in pink and mint green also…99.00 at wag.com

  50. Kathy says

    April 4, 2012 at 4:44 pm

    April 4, 2012 at 7:46 am

    Smokey our Icelandic successfully hatched four pure chicks of her own. She could have done it in style if only she had a brooder nest like this one….Too Cute!!

    Thanks Mary again and again for such amazing birds.

  56. Wynette says

    April 4, 2012 at 7:21 am

    Mary, okay – this is absolutely the CUTEST broody box I’ve laid eyes on! I must have one! OH, how I hope the broody goddesses are smiling down upon me so that I can win! WOOT! What a generous offer, what a fun contest! And – Lukka is just gorgeous in her new abode! If I don’t win, please tell me how to get one…..

  57. Jim says

    April 4, 2012 at 6:59 am

    Kella sure would like to try that out to hatch Dreki’s and her chicks. ๐Ÿ™‚

  58. Daron says

    April 4, 2012 at 6:42 am

    That is very cool idea for a broody nest! I like it! It looks very practical, and easy to clean! Lukka seems to say ”Buy it for your broodies!”

  59. Kelly says

    April 4, 2012 at 6:22 am

    OMG I must have that! If I don’t win it, you’ll have to tell me where I can get one! It’s perfect!

  60. LadyHawk says

    April 4, 2012 at 6:00 am

    Mary, that is the most adorable thing I have seen in a long time. I would use it for a broody box for sure, no way the cat or 10 lb menace would get that. Perfect for the broody Mrs. Fluffy (daughter’s white silkie).

    Oh and BTW…Kathy loves her Emus, they are precious indeed.

    Mary you crack me up! Super cool broody box (and pretty bird), too.

  62. Joy Blake says

    April 4, 2012 at 2:33 am

    Love the broody nest! It would be perfect for my broody pen in my new coop! If I win I will post a picture of my Icelandic chicks in it!

  63. Kathy says

    April 3, 2012 at 8:36 pm

    THAT is perfect for Lukka, Queen of Broodies! OMGosh, it is just absolutely the cutest thing ever! Any broody would be thrilled to be treated to such a sweet nest to brood in! LOVE it ! ! !
