Rolo Rabbit Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Just had an email from the ebayer we bought our coop from over a month ago and it should be with us before the end of the week!!!!!! There's been a delay as something happened at the port in Felixstowe which meant all the cargo was diverted to Antwerp. It was supposed to arrive nearly a fortnight ago. So the paving slabs are down, the wood for the run is in the kitchen waiting to be put up tomorrow and I feel we can finally go to Mole Valley to get the all the bits and pieces that you lot have recommended. I've got butterflies, I'm so excited!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 No relevance, but we have a guinea pig called Rolo and our rabbit looks just like yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Rabbit Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 My kids named the rabbit because they were convinced he was brown in the shop. He does develop very attractive browny patches in the summer. Unfortunately the picture is not the real Rolo Rabbit - I don't know how to make my photos small enough. But he does look very similar.

Egluntyne Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 When do you plan to get your chickens? How many? What sort? You will be relieved when the coop finally arrives. Lots of pics please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Rabbit Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 As soon as we can get the run and house up so probably within the next couple of weeks. We've ordered 3: a Black Rock, a Utility light Sussex (who's going to be called Shirley according to our daughter)and a Cuckoo maran. We've been planning this for well over a month now and it all seems to go so slowly. But I know they'll be worth the wait. Several of my friends have said ' I hope these chickens live up to your expectations'! I know they will if all of you are anything to go by. The only picture I have at the moment is of the space where the trees used to be! Not very exciting. Oh and a surprise chicken birthday cake I made for my son. He said he thought a chicken would be involved somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 They will live up to your expectations. You will be besotted within a week I guarantee it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 How exciting:D . Hope the waiting isn't too hard . Pictures of the chicken birthday cake are a must, I'm afraid . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Rabbit Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 Just realised how hopeless I am with digital cameras. I'm going to have to wait til DH has finished watching a film to show me how to upload my pics. I don't even know where the lead is to connect it. I'm quite proud of the cake! I saw that someone on here bought a mould from TKmax and treated myself. The cherry wobbly bits (wattles?) are one of my finest moments, I feel. But I shouldn't say so because you'll be disappointed when I finally sort it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
