Solitary chicken - need advice

[chooklady]

I've ordered my cube today.

 

I'm so eggcited!! Delivery is looking like the 12th of August, The Glorious 12th. That's 6 weeks today, not that I'm counting or anything.

 

We are going to start building our chicken run the weekend after next.

I've been gathering different stuff I need, so everything is under way, I can't wait.

 

No doubt I will be picking your brains about things in the weeks to come.

Many thanks in advance

Nicola

It's orange, I don't really quite know why I wanted an orange one, but there you go, it's ordered now, no going back.

Well done Chooklady!

 

There are some fans of orange on here who thinks it's very !

 

I think it's a fab colour but it would clash with my lilac one, I'd like an eglu next but I think it would need to be a purple one so not to clash!

 

The long wait starts now!

Orange and lilac together would clash - but beautifully so! I had wanted green, but my son chose Orange and I am so glad he did, it really cheers me up to see it even on a rainy day!

Well Done Nicola.

 

Like I said. Give me a shout if you need anything (or if you're visiting Thornes / Woodside and you need to pop in for a cuppa)

[quickcluck]

yay for you, how very exciting!

 

I want to know how many chooks are arriving and where from, am nosey and like all details

[Egluntyne]

Great news.

[chooklady]

Thankyou Lisa for the invite. I think I will probably go to Thornes at some point so I may well keep you to that, it would be good to see you again.

 

I am getting I gingernut ranger and 1 Miss Pepperpot when the cube comes.

 

I would also like a Light Sussex, a Goldline, Plymouth Rock barred or Speckledy and an Amber Lee/Amber Star, a cream coloured one anyway.

 

I rang Omlet earlier in the day to ask how long I would have to wait and when I told OH (he's in Salisbury working) he said to my surprise 'well I think you better order one then!'

 

I had a bit of a paddy the other week because he said he wanted to make a wooden house and I said if didn't have an eglu or a cube then we weren't having chickens, must have worked!!!! I'm not usually like that.

Abby my daughter and I have been discussing names all evening. She is going to buy herself her own chicken and call it Blossom,
