..My girls might feel quite at home ... and not even 24hrs yet!

 

 

...and my temporary dust bath needs enlarging!

 

 

Only glitch is poor Porsche sometimes gets chased back indoor!

 

[Omletina Kyckling]

aahh they are so sweet, and you are right, they do look at home already!

 

Well done!

[Egg Lou]

I Don't believe it!.. just gone out and Beanz has laid our first egg.. 43g how quick was that!

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Congratulations . First egg already . Your girls seem to be settling in remarkably quickly - how lovely .

 

I was wondering where my dog bowl and grit pot had gone - you've got them .

[JM]

Well they look settled don't they?! And an egg! - enjoy it!

[lisaroo2]

Oh wow! congrats on that first egg!

[Egg Lou]

Thanks Lisa!

 

It was Daughter's hen so her egg and made her day!

[Nutmeg]

First Egg! Could your girls have a quiet word with mine, 4 weeks and 1 day in and still no sign.

 

Agree that they look right at home, lovely

[debbie26pet]

wow they do look very settled. do they bite your toes, wow you are brave going in toe open shoes

[Egg Lou]

To be honest they only tried a bit but not bad at all! although that might change as they have had "treats" this afternoon as I needed to clip wings..and boy did they go nuts for sweetcorn! Have a feeling my trips down the garden may now be more like running the jauntlet

[Stevie]

Fantastic photos! Great that they're eating out of your hand already!

[TAJ]

LOvely girls and do look very at home already.

Sorry! I am pretty sure she is a fair bit older than the others though so I would imagine older than yours too.. I can't age chooks at all and as the breeder had emergency he was not around to tell me either..

 

Her comb is much bigger and redder so think she's about 4 weeks older??

 

Oh and I will get over to you this week .. honest!

[Valkyrie]

 

Wow, how about that for a "Thank you for bringing me home with you"!

How lovely for your daughter too. Congrats again. They don't seem to mind the company at all, glad to see all going well, apart from poor Porche. At at least they don't seem to be all pouncing and drawing blood, so hopefully they will all settle down soon.

 

When we assembled our cube, I gave OH the wrong washers for the ladder - only when the run was added did we notice - he had to crawl in and nearly got stuck - I'm not even going to attempt it!

 

How's the bran working so far?

[Abbey Road Girl]

I guess you have the answer for anyone who's ever wanted a Porsche! (A fraction of the price, eh?)

 

Thanks for the lovely pics!

Yes we were pleased! Can't really answer on the bran yet Kerry as todays poos have been .. well rather unpleasant! I'm hoping its due to the move and perhaps having treats for the first time.. I'll let you know when they have been on it a while long longer!

 

There's no way I'll fit through the dorr either but my adapted flap works well instead!

I'm in the motor industry and used to sell these fab cars.. so had to have one at home as mis my old one.. she is quite quick

[Abbey Road Girl]

Guess that pellets are less expensive than petrol!

[Valkyrie]

The flap sounds a good idea, what did you do? It must make things so much more easy to reach inside. Potential copy-cat here!

I listed a complete set of instructions and photos in the cube/eglu section.. have a look and let me know if it doesn't make sense!

 

And don't worry about copying.. others asked for details which is why I listed the instructions... all tips are shared here!

[Seagazer]

Lovely girls and photos and congratulations on the first egg. I'm with Nutmeg - a bit green with envy! Very exciting to get one so quickly.

[surferdog]

Wow! Congratulations Lou. I've only been gone for a few days and I've missed everything! Chickens and eggs!

[Valkyrie]

Thankies - found the section - such a good idea. I must get 2 extensions so that both my mum and dad can go in, not sure where to put the chickens though.
