Fox attacks - a list of what happened?

[Guest]

 

I'm so excited!

 

I'm getting 3 girls (unless someone persuades me 4 or 5 would be happy in the eglu until the integrate into the cube - I wonder if The Anti Chicken is reading this???)

 

We are going to call them three names I often call James by

 

Not the obvious ones.

 

Or Minky Manky Monkey (although I may reserve those for future use!)

 

But

 

Pickle, Pumkin and Poppet.

 

Who is going to be at the rescue on Saturday for me to look out for and say hello to - I'll be the skinny one (well skinnier!) with the over cute little boy who needs a haircut, talks too loudly and a bit unclearly.

you must be so excited, i got mine yesterday and i have been standing at the kitchen window most of the day............ oh dear not a lot done today don't forget to post pics

[Egluntyne]

Congratulations!

 

The Anti Chicken has joined the forum so you had better watch out.

[hillfamily]

Brilliant news Pengy...........love the names

[chelsea]

how

 

lucky hens to live in a great big garden like yours!

 

You could fit loads in couldnt you?!

[Guest]

loads and loads but they do tend to do most of their pooing outside Mums back door!

hey penguinmad

 

We are getting ours this weekend but as we are a school, jean has very kindly offered to babysit until the start of the new week.

 

Therefore, I won't be there in body, but my mind won't be anywhere else

[chili pepper]

I'll be there, I'm helping Jean this weekend and also getting my 4/5 this weekend I think. I will keep an eye out for you. I had 3 in an eglu and wish I had homed more. I think 4 or 5 in a eglu would be fine if they can stretch their legs during the day, they squash up so tight at night.

 

Good luck with your girls!

[Guest]

James and I are teribbly excited!

 

The Anti Chicken had to lend me the cash (I NEVER carry cash) to pay for them, we had agreed to donate £10 for each one, when she gave me £30 I said "oh, what if they need some more re-homing....." She gave me another £20....

[Karen & co.]

Ooh how exciting I can still remember driving up the M6 in very heavy rain, not my favourite job with trembling knees to go and get my girls

 

Get as many as you can you'll love them to bits

Have a great time....and pics asap please!

[WitchHazel]

Pengy, Ilm really excited on your behalf. And the anti chicken must secretly be hoping for 5 chooks, mustn't she? Would be a shame to disappoint her....

[Couperwife]

OOOOOO, good luck with your new girls

 

I agree, the anti chicken must assume that you will be coming home with 5 - well, why else would she give you soo much money

 

she will only tell you off if you dont

 

photos as soon as you have some please

Sorry but who is the Anti Chicken?

[Egluntyne]

Her mother.

[Rolo Rabbit]

Ooh

[Guest]

Yes Mum is the anti chicken and now she is coming part way - going to drop her off in Maldon and pick her up on the way back. That way she doesn't have to get upset seeing all the ex-batts but will be able to sit in the back and talk to ours all the way home!

 

Daft moo only just got it that they are literally coming out of the battery farm TODAY, she thought they were already out and being nursed to health. I don't know how many times I@ve told her they could be oven ready.

 

Still never mind. James is coming with me to get them and he is very excited too.

[Egluntyne]

Careful Peng....don't forget she is a forum member now and will be able to read what you say about her.

 

You might find yourself on the naughty step.

[Guest]

ROFL - I'll post some pictures later - too busy watching them ATM!

[chili pepper]

So glad to see you there today. the girls were in really good condition though, don't you think?

 

It was great meeting your son, what a great chicken t-shirt he had on!! He was soo excited, hope your girls are doing well!

Thanks was good to put faces to a couple of names. James is just too cute isn't he - he was very excited to pick out the chickens. Mum is really pleased they are in such good condition too.

[riestar]

[Mirkwood]

[Egluntyne]

Welcome aboard reistar.

[Rolo Rabbit]

Hi Reistar - if you go to the FAQ section on the welcome page (under Chickens, Eggs and something else), there's a thread called How to get pictures on your signature or something like that! That sorted me out.

 

Sorry this is a bit vague but I don't know how to give you a direct link. Hope you find it!
