Popcorn Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Hello guys, I've noticed my 'title' has been changed to 'Chicken Eggspert' but I'm far far far from it. Can I go back to being a Freshly Laid Egg please.....I'm only a mother hen of three days, and I know nothing yet! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Sorry It's just the ranking system set-up by James - we have no control over it. I'm sure you'll soon feel like an eggspert! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 Weeeeellll, ok then, if it has to be that way....as long as I'm not eggspected to sit an exam in all things chicken, as my score would be terrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Well done on the new title, Gina! Wait till you've notched up as many postings as us chatty chickens or whatever we are now. I'm sure we'll end up as Gobby Turkeys before too long ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheilaz Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Yes Gina, you've definitely earned the expert title, well done! Just think how much you know about chickens (& their poo, according to another topic) now, compared to 3 days ago! And the exam is only 3 hours No, its purely practical, every day getting to know your chooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted June 3, 2005 Author Share Posted June 3, 2005 'Phew' about the test... You had me going there. Took me right back to my GCSE's in 1989 (does that make you feel old?!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Oh, good luck with that Louise. I was intending to complete MSc, but dropped out for a breather after PGDip.... 2 years ago! Can't face at all that research At least the end is now in sight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I took time out after my PGDip as well about 2 years but I was determined to finish but god the write up is painful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imogen Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Exams....exams.....sooo many exams..... You'll soon learn lots about chickens!! It's surprising how much you grow to learn actually - I notice that I'm quite the chicken expert when you talk to a friend about them and you come out with all these facts and chicken terms!

Popcorn Posted June 3, 2005 Author Share Posted June 3, 2005 I too am taking some time out from an MA. The amount of work is unbelievable. My excuse was a good one though...I got married last July, moved house in December and now with my girls to look after and trying for a baby, who's got time to be sitting down writing essays! I just hope I can go back to it, rejuvinated and motivated soon.....thats' the hard bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deemscox Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I'd like to stay as a newly laid egg for ages, please! Our girls, Diana, Debo and Unity (after the Mitford Girls) are trying to teach us how to look after them but it may take a while. Our Jack Russells, Molly Gee and Nutmeg are trying to teach the chucks to move closer to the wire of the run so that they can lick them and get a taste for them! Nutmeg has a VERY long tongue and is practising to see if she can reach the centre of the run with it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Hello and welcome deemscox . Hope you're enjoying the wonderful world of chickens!! The dogs sound funny - especially the long tongued one !! There's a very friendly questionnaire at the top of this section of the forum for us nosey chicken keepers to find out a little about everyone - nothing too personal so don't worry but Lesley will keep nagging if I don't point you in the right direction ! Sorry Lesley ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheilaz Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Welcome to forum & congratulations on Eglu & chooks, Deemscox. Love the names, what breeds are they? Best wishes, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted June 3, 2005 Author Share Posted June 3, 2005 Hi Deems I got really worried yesterday when my name changed to eggspert after only 3 days of being a mother hen. No time at all in the greater scheme of things. I did relax when I found out we are not tested on our eggspert knowledge - phew - but the girls here are so fab with 'all things chicken', it doesn't really matter that you don't really know anything, as someone somehwere will always help us out!! Nice to meet you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
