lisaroo2 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 They're out! Yup, it's Ladies Night here in Staffs! Daisy, Maisie and Rosie are all enjoying their first time exploring their 'manor'. Daisy has already managed to climb on top of the eglu and have a 'birds eye' view. Rosie looked up at her with a complete look of disgust as if to say 'such a juvenile, we're laying eggs now you know and haven't got time for THAT sort of thing!' Anyway they're still very busy ferreting around. Might need the old 'torch in the nest box' trick to get em back in, they aren't gonna want to go to bed after having so much fun are they? Even managed to pick Rosie up for the first time! It is lovely to see them so happy and doing what chooks should do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 It's lovely to see them pottering around in the garden isn't it? Did you get them back in okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisaroo2 Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 Yep, they went in by themselves, thats enough excitement for one day. I can hear them discussing it inside the eglu... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 bless their hearts, I love to see mine pottering around, it's funny because if Sugar 'loses' Cocoa for a second she goes frantically looking for her.. Are they eating out of your hands yet?, my kids were beside themselves when ours started to do that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisaroo2 Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 Hi Loopyloo No, they're not eating out of our hands yet. Rosie stoops and lets me pick her up. Maisie will let me stroke her but not pick her up and Daisy, hmmmm Daisy she is the most timid of the three and won't let me anywhere near her. She is the youngest and the most flighty, I'll get her trust eventually... It's funny cos Rosie picks on Daisy but when we've been into their enclosed bit today Daisy has ran to find Rosie and tried to get underneath her! Funnygirl!

Cooks Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 they will eventually Lisa it's amazing how they get more trusting each day. We've had ours 2 weeks now, and they are crouching now, so we are waiting eagerly for our first eggs the crouching certainly helps when you want to pick them up , they love to be stroked but Sugar is less sure than cocoa, unless you have grapes and then she's anyones! They decided that they didn't like a noisy bird on the fence today.. poor bird got a right telling off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisaroo2 Posted May 10, 2008 Author Share Posted May 10, 2008 Rosie does alot of crouching when I go near her. Is she frightened of me or telling me she wants a cuddle, or neither! Maisie has started to crouch a little more. Both are laying eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I don't think it'll be a cuddle she's expecting . They crouch 'cos they think you're a cockeral . They'll keep crouching as long as they're laying! Glad to hear you're having such fun with your girls . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Yup, she's just being a little flirt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisaroo2 Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 Sounds like I should rename my girls 'The Staffs Tarts' instead of the Staffs Lasses. What little flirts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
