jman2007 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Hi My Eglu arrived on Monday (was suppose to be Tuesday so was very surprised to open the door and find 2 big boxes on my door step) what a great design. I then arranged to pick up 2 Black Rocks on Tuesday. They are settling in well. Thought I would upload some photos. http://club.omlet.co.uk/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=25084 Still trying to decide on names for them!!!

Blackrocksrock Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Great pics - how old are the chickens - I have just got 3 black rocks - 2 are laying and one looks younger a bit like yours I think by the comb. They look great and a lovely clean eglu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jman2007 Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 I have decided on the names. Imogen & Lola. They are both 17 weeks old on Monday a few weeks yet till I see the first egg I would guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJuff Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I just love the blue eglu . . . . . I want one!!!! I have a purple and a green one . . . I think I chose the wrong colours!!!!!!!!!!! Love your new girls too! They are much browner black rocks than mine, our black rock is very black hence my son's name for her Darcy Vader!!! Are you planning on letting them free range in your beautiful garden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jman2007 Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 I am going to let them out to free range in a couple of weeks. I am very afraid that they will get away and not come back!! I think I am going to have to clip their wings or I will be running around trying to find them. I may also need to block some of the gaps under the fence before I let them out!!

Laura & CTB Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Definately block up those gaps - chickens seem to be drawn to them or why not get some Omlet netting if you want them to stay in one area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
