Guest Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Expanded my flock today - added a cockerell, 2 hens and three chicks - I decided just to throw them all together and see what happened... seems to be working just fine... here they are all co-existing happily together....

little chickadee Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I thought when I read the title due to the fun and games we've been having expanding our flock. I think we'll do it this way next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 i just wet myself........................literally! hence the name??? lol their cute. can they stay outside? and where did you get them? yeah - (thanks Helen) - I made them - they are quite easy to make - and YES - they can stay outside - simple external plywood with external paint and a couple of coats of polyurathane varnish... the eyes might fade because they are simply black permanent marker pen - but they can be redone as and when necessary. Actually I made them for my garden to celebrate me getting my garage back - but then realised it was my mum's birthday soon and we will be going down to hers for some of Half term - so they will have to become her birthday present.. and I will have to make another set now..... (fortunately I was organised enough to cut out templates so it should be easier second time around.....) Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
