callyfc Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Yeh, sorry to bore you people, but I seem to have been waiting for ages for my Eglu, and I have been reading posts and messages for over a month now. Well the day is nearly here! I am going on a Hen Party for begginers tomorrow, and the Eglu arrives ABW on Fri, hopefully will collect our three hens on Sunday! Cant wait!!! Will keep you posted!

callyfc Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 Big Debate on names, I've got 3 daughters who are full of ideas, 3 hens, Ken , Tucky and Fried are the favorites at the moment! altough Shnitzle and Nugget are in the running too! Not sure exactly what were getting, hybrids, that are easy and friendly! Im a little nervous about the Hen Party, but will let you all know how it goes!

Cate in NZ Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Oh, enjoy Cally, hens are brilliant, so entertaining and they lay your breakfast too What more could you want. Have to admit to being mildly envious....I will get hens again though, soon I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I agree totally that the chickens will take over your life, but in a good way. You'll spend so much time watching their antics, you'll wonder what you did for entertainment before they arrived. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
