[Electricbarbarella]

Van arriving

Boxes

OK where do we start then?

Lucky sopmeone knows what they are doing

Small person was in charge of the ladder.

Finished, ta dar, through the window as I am not going outseide again I have only just got dry.

[MadMitch]

Wow, it's so lovely and clean.

I didn't get one of those little helpers when mine came just a miserable delivery man.

Good to see that it wasn't just my boxes that looked liked they had been jumped all over.

[ubereglu]

Lovely

[Electricbarbarella]

the helper was fantastic, she was in charge of the grub and the ladder.

[quickcluck]

looks like it was well worth the wait! Just love the colour, just great...... You were a very brave girl doing it in the rain on your own..... maybe you should charge now for your services!!

[Earthchild]

Well done you, and in the rain too - well impressed

[SAB]

The orange is fab isn't it. I had wanted sedate green, but my son insisted on orange and I am so glad he did - really cheerful sight even on a rainy day. They do say that looking at something orange first thing in the morning helps start the day in a positive mood. My OH has noted I have been much cheerier recently, so there may be something in that.

[Egluntyne]

It looks super.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

That looks fantastic . I love your little helper - very cute .

[chelsea]

I think orange is SO

 

it really looks fab in the garden, it stands out and is very attractive.

 

looks fantastic!

[alison]

Brilliant, well done eggy!

[NClaire]

It looks lovely! Is it going to live on the grass?

[bronze]

Oh I still love the orange...

[Electricbarbarella]

and here are the girls (we hope) one has a slight possibility that it is not a hen, we may have to take BOB back in a few weeks.

 

The 2 that are in the house have still not come out, the others flew straigh down the ladder.

[quickcluck]

They are gooooooooooooorgeous...

 

what breed is the one with the dark bottom and white neck???? very distinctive..... you must be thrilled, did it go smoothly?? How did you transport them?

 

They look really happy already!

[Egluntyne]

They are gorgeous.

 

That poo tray won't be so pristine for long.

[Electricbarbarella]

it is a salmon favorelli, that is the one that mightbe a boy, ttransported in a cat box seem very settled, the cat is trying to stalk them but they are very not bothered.

[Electricbarbarella]

the cat is now on top of the cbe, do you think that is OK?

[Egluntyne]

Found this picture of female Salmon Faverolles on 'tinterweb. How does Bob compare?

 

 

Also. someone posted that females have white wing tips and males have black.

 

I hope that info helps.

[quickcluck]

funny, he looks like a boy!!!! You will be so disappointed if he has to go back...... however, he is beautiful, how about the others, is there a sussex and an amber can't guess the ginger one!!!

 

Dont worry about the cat!

[Electricbarbarella]

he does look a bit boyish doesn't he, the lady said that if it is a cock iot is very very gentle and it's wattles aren't as pronounced as usual.

 

the ginger ones are lolan browns (I think the ame as ginger nuts) and the black one is a black rock.

The cat has given up now,

one of them is having very very runny poo and has a mucky bottom although she didn't when we picked her up, will this be from the stress of moving.

[Egluntyne]

They are often a bit squitty after a move. It unsettles them.

 

Where did you get them from in the end?

[Helen&Lee]

The orange cube looks

 

The chooks are fab too.

[Yolky]

That poo tray won't be so pristine for long.

 

 

lol so true, ours was full this morning....and the nesting box all clean now though and will be getting some lino for the nesting box for ease.

 

 

 

They are gorgeous. I am sure the will find their feet soon and make their way out. Everything is so new and strange for them. I think they almost get sensory overload. I put in a big branch and hooked it on the side for pirching and they looked at it and me like I was insane lol.

[Electricbarbarella]

they are all out now, they look so happy already I can't take my eyes of them.

I got them from raw green, I just liked Jody and the way she keeps her chickens so much. they are all so tame, you can alredy pick them up for a cuddle.
