Mrs Frugal Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Hello and welcome Lulu. It's amazing how people can't help peering at the chickens and the Eglu, isn't it! They're fascinated!! Keep on posting and take a look at the questionnaire and tell us a little bit about yourself . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Hello and welcome to the forum. You'll make lots of great chicken friends here. I have. This forum is the best, everyone has been very supportive. Have fun choosing names. What chickens have you gone for? I did think about calling one of my girls Lulu as it is my husbands nickname for me(don't ask) but thought it might get a bit confusing. The name Hetty just came to me but I took one look at my Miss Pepperpot and thought how like a french aristocrat she looked and so I gave her the name Matilde(to be said in afrench accent!!

Katie Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Hey Lulu! Have you decided on their names yet?! I got mine from a recipe book as you can probably tell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lulu Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 hiya, i went for one pepperpot and two rangers. the pepperpot is now called Raisin and the rangers called Belina and Tubs (because of her ample size! ) we got two rangers because i thought they were going to be the most friendliest but Raisin is alot more outgoing and is the easiest to pick up. Tubs is a little madam i think she must be the boss as i've seen her pecking the others in particular poor Raisin and she is nearly impossible to pick and if you do she makes such a fuss! does anyone else have this with one of their chicks?

Imogen Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Hey!! Lovely names for your three! My pepperpot was very easy to pick up at first but after her broody stage, she's been a lot my flighty and tricky to handle. I'm gradually building her up again and she's just a pain to catch sometimes, but once you've got her then she doesn't make a fuss. My ranger, Florecne, is the best. I often sit in the garden with her and she'll just sit on my lap for quite a while, making little clucky noises and lookign around The more you handle them, the better behaved they'll become! Hope you don't mind me asking, but which part of Herts are you in? I'm in Herts too Oh and very quickly.... I'VE JUST FINISHED ALL MY EXAMS 10 WEEKS OF SUMMER YAY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
