clairel Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hello Today I got three Black Rock chickens . I've had my Eglu since the end of July and it's great to finally get the chickens to fill it up! They've settled in well, I've just shut them up for their first night in . All was quiet when I last checked on them. My husband, who has always said they would be my chickens, is already taken by them and had them feeding from his hand.

Egluntyne Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Congratulations. Him Indoors pretends to be indifferent to the hens, but can often be found sneaking them a treat. Great names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauty-Box Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Congratulations on your new arrivals! My husband didn't really want chickens, but now he's the one who says we should get some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clairel Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 Wow - I collected two eggs this morning and tonight when I came home from work I had 3 more! I didn't expect any eggs this soon, I only collected the chickens on Sunday. I'll take some pictures of the girls and see if I can work out how to upload them!

clairel Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 No I didn't. It was a place at Legsby near Market Rasen. They have some black rocks and some pure breds. Claire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
