cluckingmad Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 Fiddlesticks! Took some pics of the girls this evening but don't know how to post them up... all help gratefully recieved!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I found the easiest way was to open a flickr account (go to flickr.com) as your pictures have to be on a public web site to be able to be seen on here. Then you click on the Img button that appears when you are writing a post and post the web pic address between the two brackets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluckingmad Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 ta! Will try again later - meanwhile had to go "ahhh" last night - there's been a little sparring going on today through the mesh between Mollie and Esme but things have clamed down well.. decided to give the ladies some raisins as a treat.... Martha and Mollie couldn't have cared less but Millie scoffed the lot! We've only had them 3 days and she's already eating out of my hand Gotta love that chicken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 It is a real "aahh" moment isn't it? Ex-batts are full of those (and I'm sure chickens with feathers are too!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HENthusiastic Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Well done for rescuing ex-batts. I hope you enjoy watching them have their first experiences of a better life. I have a soft spot for my ex-batt ladies. Hope you manage to get some pics sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluckingmad Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Oh I am so excited! We finished the ex-batt girls' new run at the w/e (its just an aluminium frame with chicken mesh over, but allows them to exercise a bit more)... and this lunchtime I've gone out ot see them to find their first egg, neatly in the nest box Think I am just about the proudest Chicken Mummy in the world!
