buffie Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 The photographer asked me to keep kissing Tulip, no problem I said but trying to look at him and kiss her beak. Not easy Anyway Poppy has laid an egg in the nest. If anyone tells you that an Eglu is a trendy bit of kit that isn't suitable for hens, I now have the answer. Poppy has never had a nest to lay in and chose the nest in the Eglu. End of story and no we didn't even put in a plastic or ceramic egg to show her Endorsed by Poppy BBxx I am still so excited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffie Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 I'll get the cable sorted out tomorrow and get pics on my blog. They didn't know how to go to bed I had to pick them up and post them in, they sounded really contented so I've left them to snooze as free range girls. What a life they'll have now BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Awww, bless! Did you pull their little patchwork quilts up under their chins? I went out tonight and the two littlies were in the nest, with their heads buried under Lily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 Peeked on them in the dark They are fine, bit put out I opened their snug hatch to check. It's cold out today so not sure what they'll think, but they'll start the day with warm mash. I just want to spend all day with them BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffie Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 Working Christian but lucky to work from home I've spent some time with them and they did some first time scratching in the earth, bless Just want to sit and watch them but have friday and sunday at home all day so I'll be entertained. It's amazing how this has slowed me down and helped me relax BBxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I wish they could talk to us - I'd love to hear what they think of their first scratches and the sunshine on their feathers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Fantastic! Lovely pictures. They looks so alert and enquiring. I've emailed Adele to ask if I can reserve 3 in March. As there has been such interest after Jamie and Hugh's programmes ...I might have to wait! That is good news for the hens....but bad news for me!
