Carol U Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 We all managed to survive the night. Fished the new girls out of the eglu this morning and put them back in their own run. No obvious bloodshed, although they were all a bit indignant. One of our old girls still making horrible noises, but the other almost friendly, as long as they know their place. We have just allowed them about 5 mins out together and only Rhoda (noisy one) actively aggressive. Decided to quit while we were ahead! Here is first picture in their temporary - and rather ramshackle run : click here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I wonder how long those plants will survive? Thats what I was thinking Egluntine. That chard doesn't stand a chance!

Couperwife Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 How gorgeous are those girls I also dont think that those plants will last very long, lovely run cover cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol U Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Considering they'd never seen plants before, they've found a taste for them remarkably quickly! I know they won't last, but it was the only suitable place to put a temporary enclosure that was near the eglu for night and morning transfers! One has to make sacrifices in this life. Mine was chard & kale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 What pretty girls . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 What beautiful girls. A very imaginative temporary run design. I can't wait to get some more, despite the trauma (mainly for me) of introducing new girls. I definitely want an Araucana or a Cream Legbar (for coloured eggs) and some ex-batts. Just need to persuade OH it's a good idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol U Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 I know what you mean. My OH loves them really, but does tend to go round muttering about all the guano! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
