4m x 3m Omlet pen, cube, new auto door still boxed and coop light

[gracefruit]

Yesterday we picked up two lovely new hens -- a Mendlesham Blue and a Mendlesham Amber. Both are settling in nicely and we've had very little flack from our original two divas.

 

I just hope I can stop with four, otherwise, I'm going to need a cube!

They are gorgeous, Elizabeth. Congratulations. Stopping at 2 is a real problem, isn't it . We're still looking for a couple of additions but my list of wanted breeds just gets bigger .

What beautiful girls . Congratulations .

They are lovely.

 

I'd start saving for that cube!

They're lovely! I started with 4 - see my signature now!!! And I want more

[gracefruit]

Thanks so much, everyone. You know you are all enablers!

 

ANH - I believe my two new girls came from the same breeder as yours -- the nice gentleman in Longniddry.

 

It's time to pull out my piggy bank and start saving for another eglu, I think!

Good to hear you got your new hens - they are lovely! We're now up to 9 as we unexpectedly took in 3 of a friend's this week because of a stoat problem, so we have another cuckoo marans, a light Sussex and a buff Sussex bantam. We also, due to the stoat emergency, had to just bung them all in together, but so far so good!

PS I've finished the tablet, will need to order more! It was gorgeous.

Your new girls are beautiful! I know how hard it is to resist once you start. My two are now seven!

Hi Sheila, Chickens are so addictive! I thought two would be plenty, but no. We just weren't getting enough eggs. I'll tell my lovely husband (who makes the tablet). He loves good feedback!

 

Med, I am going to need a bigger garden, I think!

ANH - I believe my two new girls came from the same breeder as yours -- the nice gentleman in Longniddry.

 

A lady who lives up the road from me got her new girls two weeks ago from that guy too! I think she has a Mendlesham Blue as well .

[gracefruit]

He's a really nice man, and the set up he has for his chickens makes me jealous! When he was showing us the different choices, he was absent-mindedly stroking the birds. That gives me a lot of confidence in the breeder.

They are lovely, congratulations

They are both beautiful. If your amber has the same sort of feathers as mine she will manage to stay miraculously clean. The blue though is really different, well done .
