Tigerlily Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Well done this anyway! ...Ordered a coming 2nd May! ...Ordered 3 chooks: which we will be collecting on 25th May!!! I can't wait! I am so excited. The only thing I am nervous about is foxes. To be honest, we don't see many near here, but they are around lurking I know and it worries me... Especially when you hear such sad stories on here about chooks being attacked. Lots of love to everyone who has lost their chooks recently x Best wishes, Tigerlily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluckbok Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Hi ya, That's great news! Yeah you won't regret it. Yeah just bear in mind if/when you let them free range to keep eye out for Foxes. Hopefully you'll never see any. We haven't seen any YET. Hopefully we won't!! or I bet you won't wanna wait til 25th to get chooks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerlily Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Hi Cluckbok! No I can't wait!!! But we are on holiday between 11-18 May so I have something else to look forward to! Can I just ask? Is the chook Porridge normal porridge? Thanks Tigerlily x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules. Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Hello to yet another Northerner I give my girls normal porridge- oats soaked in warm water, but only for their supper! You can lob other stuff into it like grapes and mealworms, chooks aren't bothered about odd food combinations Other people make their porridge out of left-over layers pellets, anything goes, really.

Tigerlily Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Thanks everyone! I am really excited - my husband thinks I'm mad but we know better, don't we? Sorry Cluckbok - I also meant to say - I love your chookcam! It is so funny watching them! Well porridge with mealworms isn't something I fancy tasting, but if the girls will love it...

SLK69 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 No regrets here - I have 'been with chicken' 19 days now and each day is better than the last. So happy chicken days to you. Susie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjules Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Well done! That first step is the hardest - I filled my omlet shopping basket with an eglu and 3 hens before closing the browser, at least once a month for a year until I finally took the plunge. You won't regret it - they're fabulous fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I kept doing too! Plus, my hubby has had to be talked into it... but I got my way in the end! Best wishes, TL x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
