Cinnamon Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Well,this is the LAST thing I expected! The in-laws have just offered me thier green Eglu & 2 hens at no charge, as they no longer have the time to look after them. We have always wanted to get chickens again,but sort of thought it would be much later in the year. Also,we know we want more than 2 in the long term....so are going to have to think about introducing new faces to this established pair. I am all of a dither Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 We are picking them up this weekend One speckeldy called Garfield (WILL be changed,Poppy maybe) & a Pepperpot called Rosie. I am grinning all over my face Apparantly they want a dog,& as they only have a tiny garden & have had neighbour problems with the chickens,they thought they would be happier with us......& who am I to argue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 I am sure it will be very tempting to dip a child in chocolate! If I manage to resist,I will try & take a party photo & post it later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 The thought of chickens will keep you sane and calm and help you get to the otherside of the party without too much stress!
