Dodge Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 WOW 8 ex batts that's fantastic There is nothing like the satisfaction and fulfilment of rearing ex batts back to full health. I hope your day goes well, and I know that your new girls will love their new 5* accomodation. Regards Dodge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hi scrambled, Congratulations on your imminent arrivals - looking forward to some photies! I noticed that you're in Cornwall too - did your cube arrive on the day you were expecting it? Ours is due on October 1st and I'm a bit concerned after reading other posts that it might come earlier than that... worried that I might not be around to receive it & we've waited soooo long!!!

Groovychook Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hi Scrambled, Not long to wait now I suppose - I keep going out to the garden to look at the empty site where the cube is going to live! Hopefully, the nice delivery man will leave the parcel if we're not around! we're in North Cornwall, not far from Launceston... how about you?

Groovychook Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 We're still not sure where to get our girls from... I know there's a place in St. Giles on the Heath- might try there, although we've had lots of other places suggested to us... Good luck with the chickeny names!!

Busybird Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Oh I am sooo jealous! Two cubes and all those lovely chickens. My son is desperate for us to get a cube which fills my OH with horror (he likes our chickens but not what they do to the lawn). Enjoy your enlarged flock when they arrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Oh Scrambled, I remember my collection day! I was on the 16.30 to 18.00 shift and I've never known the clock move so slowly Find yourself a distraction or you'll chew your nails off to the elbows! I had absolutely sworn to myself that I would be sensible and I wasn't going to be on their doorstep at 16.30 and would go later so I didn't get stuck in traffic, as it was a hot day and I didn't want the hens getting dehydrated in the car. OK, it wasn't 16.30, but only because I missed the entrance, so it was 16.32! And I'm supposed to be an adult ... All the very best for Saturday and those eight very lucky girls coming your way - you know we will want piccies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
