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

[Plum]

My girls have arrived. Roy is putting the cube together and asked me to go away for an hour. But I cant do anything . I just keep looking out of the window and taking pictures. The chickens are so pretty, they are in a cat carrier clucking quietly. I am so excited. Think I'll bake a cake.

[Groovychook]

You can bore us for as long as like after the wait you've had. Can't wait to see the pics .

I'm going to bore you to death.

Impossible when the topic is chickens!

 

Have they got names yet?

 

Can't wait for the pictures. *drums fingers*

[Plum]

Hi there, daft lot. Tried to download pics but put wrong password in photobucket too many times, will try again now.

I've had such a good day. They turned their noses up at marmite on toast but have been happy with corn and will take it from my hand except Pigeon who's a bit of a madam with the other two. She let me stroke her when she went to bed.

There was an awful row earlier so I dashed out to see what was wrong and a cat had walked across the garden. I've got 4 so they've got to get used to it.

[purple hen]

At last, congratulations Plum, you will be shivering in the garden a lot now. Looking forward to the pics.

[laurmurf]

Congratulations Plum

 

we're so happy for you! You have been so patient, and now you have your girls and their lovely lovely house ! Well done to you and congratulations on becoming a chicken-mummy!

 

lots of love from us all!

[Hen Watch]

Congrats on the new arrivals Plum, can't wait for photos.

 

Your girls will soon get used to cats. My lot bok bokked alarm calls at first but now they stand stock still for a moment or two when a cat is spotted on the fence, then they get on with pecking the grass.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Congratulations on your new girls . Get over to Photobucket right now - we need photos .

[Redwing]

No word for a while, I bet Plum is in the garden peering through the eggport door, torch in hand!

[Plum]

You are so right. I'll let them sleep now.

Here are my girls.

 

This is Pigeon on the ladder. She's going to be the boss

 

At the front is Sparrow. She eats corn from my hand already.

 

 

And Grackle. She soft and will let me stroke her. Nervous at first and wouldn't come out of the cube, probably because Pigeon kept chasing her.

 

Aren't I lucky.
