chocchick Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hurrah, it's nice when someone you know gets chickens. They are the best pets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Only a few. My Aunty - My biggest copy cat. She now has eglu, 2 bantams and 3 quail. She has now got a small holding and I've convinced her to buy a poly tunnel and she is very much into the whole preserving thing as well. Just working on the goat. Oh and she is getting six ex-batts in March along with some more quail from me! My Aunty - A different Aunty, brought a pink rablu in 2006 and is looking for another one/ guinlu for when she moves into her new house in a couple of weeks. My Grandma and Grandad - We don't see them that often but they were reading my blog and decided chickens was for them. They do not have an eglu, but they have a fantastic hen house that they made themselves. I must try to get a picture of it for you, it is brilliant. 3 so far, but I think that my cousin is going to buy a rablu for her new house!

Cinnamon Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Martin - I converted Martin........I'm really sorry everyone So you should be! I did pretty well out of my conversion. I converted my SIl, who then decided she didn't want them after all & gave her Eglu & hens to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clur Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 My son has had friends home from school three days in a row, all wanting to see the chickens. Their mums now complain about the kids pestering to get chickens...it's only a matter of time I'm sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
