Lisa Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) I just wanted to share the good news! Chelsea had said that she had had some omlet deliveries a day early so I stayed at home until 2.30pm and then I had to venture out to do the job I put off and hate the most in the whole world – clothes shopping! I have to get new clothes for the start of term. I had just started to get change when my phone goes. So as you can imagine there I was half in/out of my clothes struggling to get my phone out of my bag in a tiny cubicle!!Eventually I answer the phone and it is my DS saying ‘guess what’s here?’ - my had arrived a day early!! I was so excited I shouted to my friend and as a result told everyone in the changing rooms! By the time I got home my DH had set it all up and my DD ( well today at least)had rung the farm to arrange to collect our three girls . We had them put by the day we ordered the eglu! At 7pm we collected the latest additions to our family who chatted quietly on the 5 mile journey home (sooo cute) and are now quietly settled in their new home! I took a quick photo of them in their box all snuggled up together after their journey but it is a bit blurred. I'll get my DS to help me post it when he gets home later. I wanted to get them into the eglu asap to let them settle so I will have to take some more when I let them out in the morning. The only concern that I have so far is that they have had their left wings clipped and after reading the forum I thought that the right wings was the one that should be done What do I know? They seem fine, are 20 weeks old today and one has already started laying, probably . Although I was told this may stop for a while until they are settled. I am sure I will see in the morning! I am just a little that I do everything right for them. Sorry to go on I will leave now and have my lunch (it is only 8.34pm!!!) EDITED to change their ages a chicken laying at 20 days would be incredibly advance!!! My mistake in the excitement! sorry!

Mayo Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hi Lisa, I'm not implying that your ladies are a bit thick; honestly I'm Not; it's just that I'm not convinced that they can tell the difference between left and right anyway - so if you don't tell them, they'll never know!! The only difference will be when/if they finally do get off the ground for a little aerial ballet, yours will circle in the opposite direction. Do you have a video camera ??!! Enjoy them - almost certainly they will be the best investment you ever make. Mx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
