Eglu Cube Coop For Sale

[Guest]

As we only have Maud who is laying now and as the BHWT are oversubscribed, we decided to get a cple of POL girlies.

 

Went to Garden Poultry in Frodsham with 2 Red Rockets in mind, but after chatting with John (the owner), we somehow ended up with a Blue Comet (Eleanor Rigby) and a Sussex Rock (Lucy in the sky with diamonds)

 

Eleanor and Lucy for short

 

Some pics

Lucy already seems to be a bit of a madam (Lynda, I'm hoping you're not a prophet John said she should be okay with our girls, fingers x'd ) and Eleanor is a sweetie but it's early days obviously. Maud was a marauder when she first arrived and now she's my cuddle chicken

They are lovely Poet, and by the looks of them shouldn't be long before you get eggs!

[Guest]

Hi Snowy, John reckons very soon, he showed us how to check the pelvic bone to see if they're near to laying and he thinks about 10 days or so

[Karen & co.]

Poet your new girls are beautiful. I love the names. Looking at the photos you posted it looks like you should be getting eggs anyday now. This photo look like there is a bit of squatting going on.

Beautiful girlies

[sparkysmum]

Great photos, lovely girls, great names too

[poachedegg]

Lovely colours Poet.

[MedusA]

Lovely girls, Poet! Hope the introductions go well.

[Guest]

thanks guys

 

we let them free range together for a bit today and all went well for about 10 minutes until the old girls chased the new ones into bushes

 

we put the older girls back in their run to give the new girls a bit more of a chance to get their confidence up.
