Jeanne Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Well. We went and chose the chooks. Isaac chose a Black Comet, Anisha chose a Sussex Comet, and I couldn`t resist a Jasmine (I think that was the name) I am armed with treats, corn, food, wormer etc. Picking up the hens either Thursday or Friday, depending when the eglu arrives. The wait will kill us, and these have to be the most expensive eggs ever My older daughter went with me to look, and I persuaded her to have some hens for her garden as well. I thought we could drive each other to the point of madness lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 ... but they're worth it! Bet you can't wait for delivery, you won't look back I promise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanne Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 You are right. I cannot wait! I am going back to chose each one myself though. Maybe that isn`t such a good idea, every animal that crosses my threshold seems to leave their brain cells behind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeanne Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 I did indeed Chicken. Isn`t Lisa lovely and helpfull? She directed me to Gibsons, and saved me a ton on all the stuff I was going to get just in case. Of course I will spend that on other stuff, like the run extension.
