hillfamily Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) Off to chose my new additions this afternoon They will be available in June/July - so long to wait - but need to be ordered now. I think I will get a Light Sussex, an Orpington (he has 10 different types to chose from so I may be gone sometime ) and he can also get me some blue egg layers either Legbars or Arucanas from a friend of his who breeds chooks I'm very very excited........can you tell Although I've got to wait a while ( he could supply me with Hybrid girls this weekend ) I will just have to be patient. The whole reason for me getting a cube is so that I can finally get the additions I've always wanted need to be patient need to be patient need to be patient need to be patient need to be patient need to be patient need to be patient need to be patient need to be patient need to be patient .......... i can do that......no problem Edited March 13, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillfamily Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 I'm sure i'll find enough to do to keep me busy between now and chooks arriving :D DS has his GCSEs so that will require a lot of 'when are you starting your revsion'.........'have you started your revsion yet ?'............'if you don't start your revision there won't be enough time'.......'well if you don't revise you won't pass and you won't get to do A levels and don't think you're going to lounge around here all day not anything'......... Then when the stress of his GCSEs are over, I can spend July laying down in the back garden admiring my new girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
