Daphne and Marjorie - our new girls.

Recommended Posts

We have decided to take our name off the ex batt waiting list. Mainly due to have to having 3 from BHWT, when our garden is probably best with only an extra 2.

 

We are also taking in 2 boy guineas tomorrow ( :D ), however will need separate accomodation from our girl guineas, so it all takes space up in our small garden.

 

......so this morning me and OH went on a little trip to Garden Poultry and got 2 Black Comets whom we have named Daphne and Marjorie. :D:D

 

They are 21 weeks old and will live in our new lilac eglu for a few weeks, so we can do very slow introductions.

 

We then aim to extend the Cube with another 1 metre, so they will have more room when they go in together.

 

We have been doing our calculations and think it will be cheaper to sell the eglu in the spring and use that money to fund a new guinlu for the boy guineas rather than converting the existing one - does that make sense? If we keep and convert we would have to buy the conversion kit and a 1 metre run as the 2 metre run will not reduce down to 1metre because of the tapering effect. Whereas if we simply sold it - the money would just buy a new guinlu - so more or less a straight swop. If anybody understands my thought process, I would be grateful for confirmation that they are correct. :D

 

Will put photos on tomorrow.

Congrats on the new chooks! Can't wait to see pics. :D

 

I think that sounds like a plan. You should get almost the cost of a new guinlu for it - and being a Guinea lover myself how nice for your two boys to have a brand new home!! You could get them a really masculine colour - like blue. I love my blue eglu :D

You'll have to wait for photos - OH has taken 2 of the children to London for today and tomorrow - Father Christmas at Selfridges :D and The London Eye :D - and has taken the camera with him (plus I don't know how to upload them!)
