Janey4 Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Im just outside Warrington. Its a wooden coop as my mum wanted it to fit in with her cottage garden, but I too am tempted to get a pink grub and/or glug, just because its pink! Have also phoned Adele this morning to say we would like one more hen, so now its four girls coming for a life of luxery!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancing cloud Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I also went from 4 to 6 because it was a big rescue and there were some leftovers Prepare to be addicted from the outset, to rarely see your telly again, to not necessarily have the cleanest house on the street, and to be one of the happiest people around Lucky girls coming your way very soon ...

FruitandNutCake Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I could only think of 3 names at first, but as soon as I saw my baldy, I called her Sinead - after Sinead O'Conner in her video "Nothing compares to you"! I would have got more if I had another separate run. I was dreaming of chickens for ages before I got got them! It's such an amazing experience watching them change in appearance and growing confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
