Feeding advice for bantams (one broody, one moulting)

[emu]

This has got to be the happiest day for Emu.

Our chookma has got in touch and has all the hennies in stock

THAT IS A LIGHT SUSSEX A CUCKOO MARAN AND A BLUE ORPINGTON.

Originally wanted a Buff Orpington but they only have the blue.

Could get them as early as next week - Xmas looks like its definitely coming to the Emu and Eglu household.

What do you all think? Will they get on?? Should I go for it?? ? BLUE ORPIE?

Congratulations.

 

Turn your caps lock off or you will have young Fred after you!

[BeckyBoo]

How exciting, and before Christmas too!! I'd love an Orpington, trouble is when you're new you don't really know which ones you want, or I didn't anyway, enjoy your new chookies! Pictures please!

Loads of pictures pleasee

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Great news! Congratulations .

[ubereglu]

Aww, that's great news.

 

I bet you can't wait. I wonder if I'll get a Christmas present of an egg from each of my hens. Currently I very much doubt it, as Muddles is moulting, Molly is only 20 weeks old and Spice is 22 weeks.

 

 

Hmm, maybe next year!

what exciting news!!

 

Orpingtons are gorgeous, go for it! (they get huge though!).

 

We have a cuckoo maran....she's completely bonkers, very funny, and friendly (she was in the kitchen tonight eating the dogs food ) and reliable layer.

 

Wonder when you will get them???......bet you cant wait.

My girlies are coming next Wednesday 12th December(Memorable date)

Cant wait- who knows if they settle down could be laying by christmas.

ooh a xmas chooky egg gift really would be rather nice.

 

Thank you all for your special good wishes

 

I am sure our first chookmas will be very special. [/url]

A little bit of caps is ok, I get annoyed when there are paragraphs of caps.

[Treekeeper]

Glad you are sorted. Could have given you a wave on Sunday as we went past on the way to Barton Grange! Disappointed with their Christmas display this year though.

[Egluntyne]

Good luck tomorrow.

[WitchHazel]

Good luck tomorrow Emu, can't wait to see some piccies of your new girls!

[emu]

Thanks for all your good wishes- bit nervous but happy- glad all the wet weather has gone at least.

Saw someone else's free range girlies ferreting about on the grass so felt reassured that it wasnt too cold for them to venture outside.

We will probably let them settle in the run and let things take their course gradually.

Barton Grange is a bit of a let down until maybe next year when i guess the new brock location is up and running.

Have any of you been to Bents in Warrington? Now that is a place worth checking out - not much to look at from the outside but absolutely delightful inside-fab themed decor all year round with food to die for in the restaurant bit-cannot recommend enough-AND you can use the back roads to get to Gemini M&S and Ikea(85p shower curtains et al!)

Shall post pics soon

Great news!! Good luck for tomorrow with the new girls!!!
