Wow! I was so nervous this morning that if someone from Omlet had offered me the chance of cancelling I would have taken them up on it! :?

 

But I did let the nice Omlet man in (was in such a nervous state I even forgot to ask his name) and he put up my cube and gave me our girls.

My youngest son and I are in love with them, I cannot get him to leave them alone. Everytime I turn around he is either stroking them or in the run with them.

 

Our Miss Pepperpot has been named by oldest son and he has called her Butch :shock: . This is because when they first went in the run she kept squawking and pacing up and down - she was taking no prisoners! I panicked at this point and worried what the neighbours were going to say. She quietened down and has been brilliant since. She was the first one to come over for a stroke.

 

Gingernut 1 has been called wait for it........ Ginger by youngest son and is the shyest of the girls, she has black feathers at the back.

 

Gingernut 2 has been called Florence or Flo by my daughter from afar (she is at uni but I thought she should decide the name).

 

Cookie is very interested in them but can take them or leave them. Dave though thinks that they are great stalking practice :?

 

So after a very nervous start I am a happy girl with my three gorgeous girls :lol:

 

Hopefully I have put in the photos correctly (fingers crossed)

Oh dear - the photos look very large to me - I put them to message board size I promise. :?

I know its brilliant isn't it - we've sat outside all afternoon, YS still out there, wondering whether to put them to bed or not.

 

See I wrote the above about 10 minutes ago, Jack called me back outside to see what they were up to! We have now put them to bed - hope this is ok? :?

Thanks for all the lovely replies :lol:

 

Today has gone really well (so far). I found out why I was feeling so funny about the chickens yesterday - I'm not well :roll: I've got a sicky bug and feel quite peculiar. Must say not the best way to feel when your cleaning out chicken poo :vom:

 

My son even turned down the offer of tea at a friend's house as he didn't want to spend too much time away from the girls. This was after he set his alarm for 6 am this morning to get the girls up!! Luckily I heard him and got him to wait until 7.10! :lol:

NIce Pics :D

 

Lovely looking chooks.

 

I think your cat needs to work on his technique he ain't gonna reach from there is he? :lol:

 

The cat from a few doors down was stalking ours for a while.He tried a half hearted attack pounce and the hens just laughed at him. He slunk off nursing wounded pride. :lol:

 

Have fun with you new sparkly Cube and girls.

 

Kev.
