jjjj Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 (edited) We have had our chickens for a whole 12 days now and have 'suffered' the worries of this new adventure (tan frothy poo, paper eating, being easily spooked - by the small garden birds! etc). Joined the forum a couple of days ago, and having read lots of the posts, have a more peaceful mind now. So a BIG THANK YOU to all who have walked this path before. Hope we only have happy posts to make. jjjj Edited April 7, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Welcome to the forum! It really is hugely informative, isn't it? And addictive... Glad you are relaxing with your new girls! They are great aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajm200 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 The people on here are great aren't they. I'd have been lost without them! I think it's hilarious to watch the chickens learning about the world. Mine were scared were scared of the wild birds too. One has now got brave enough to chase the small ones away. Afterwards she struts about making a racket to make sure we all know how 'brave' she's been. It's great when you can start to be amused by their funny little ways instead of worrying about them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbey Road Girl Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Yes, welcome to the forum. If you do have any problems this is the place to come for good advice. There must be decades of hen keeping experience on tap. I would guess that most people do not have any serious problems with their chooks. I would think we hear about all traumas.

jjjj Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 Thanks for the encouragement. I should have said we have 1 Miss Pepperpot (Penny) and 1 Gingernut (Henny) - named by our young grandson. We can see the girls from our sittingroom, so already have had many moments of pleasure from them. I will be a regular visitor, there's just so much to learn.

meezers Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 This is a great forum, everyone is so friendly and helpful ! We've had our chooks just over 2 weeks now ( can't believe times' gone so fast ) and I swear they are more of a worry than kids ! But they are so worth it, it's such fun getting to know all their little characters and as you've been told - it's VERY addictive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
