Sheilaz Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Exactly one year ago today, my first green Eglu arrived with Penny & Chuckles! I was so nervous, & hadn't read anything about chickenkeeping beyond the Omlet website before they arrived! What a wonderful year it's been! Also, today's date...R.I.P. Buddy Holly. When I was 16 I went on a barge holiday up the Thames with about 7 others teenagers, mixed company, no adults. (Parents thought it was something organised by Scouts, but it wasn't I didn't lie, just told half the story ) Enormous fun, first holiday without parents, but we only had one tape to listen to all week. Buddy Holly's greatest hits. Brilliant songs. If I'd known, I could have named 1st chooks Buddy & Holly! Anyway, one year...can't imagine the time before hens now!

Cate in NZ Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Sheila, many congratulations on your first chicken anniversary Maybe that should read "Henniversary" Just look at how much you've learnt since then, and how the flock has expanded. Will it be 4 eglus by this time next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Omlet should create and e-card which you can p.m. on people's Henniversaries. I think it would be very popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheilaz Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Thanks, Mel & Louise! I can't believe how much my life has changed in just one year. OH can't believe how his idea of "what would you think of having a couple of chickens in the garden?" has expanded into 2 Eglus, 6 hens, Fort Knox for chickens, and a chicken obsessed wife!
