Stevie Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 My orange Eglu and 2 chooks (Pepperpot & Ranger called 'Sage and Onion') were delivered last friday and everythings gone better than anticipated. Firstly,my dog (a very friendly Bullmastiff) took to them immedietly and often joins them in foraging sessions on the lawn for the seed i scatter.They follow him-he follows them,but he does eat their poo so probably see's them as a free vending machine... Onion the Gingernut in particular is very friendly and will literally be inches from me while in garden.She is by far the boldest and activly taps at my backdoor! Sage the Pepperpot is a bit more reserved and wont come right close to me,but she's getting better.Oddly though-she allows my dog to sniff her,but isnt keen on me handling her? They're both enchanting little things which have brought my garden to life and im so glad i got them.I chose the bright orange Eglu because its my fav colour and i think a wacky design needs an equal colour.Just gotta wait for the first egg now! The futures bright...the futures orange...! A new hybrid-called the 'Chookmastiff'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjules Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Lovely pics - such vivid colours. Glad you and your dog are enjoying your chooks. Nevermind the future's bright, the future's orange - the future's so bright I've gotta wear shades when looking at your photos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
