Starting the 'Build'

 

 

 

 

Almost done

 

 

And it is complete Thanks George

 

 

And here are our new girls, as yet to be named

 

I have got it all set up, with food and nesting material. I have also spent time catching the girls, popping them into the Cube via the back and letting them find their way out via the ladder.

 

The neighbours are going to think I am nuts

[fluffyknickers]

Ooooh so exciting - looks lovely. Bet you are getting back out there to watch what they are up to in their new home.

 

Need more pics!!!

[moochoo]

Fantastic pics. Your new girls look lovely. You garden definitely looks like Omlet village now!

[Ain't Nobody Here]

That looks fab . Have you left the garden at all this afternoon ?

 

Who's going to be first in?

That'll be Ygerna, no doubt .

[quickcluck]

Ha Hadn't thought of that!

[mostin]

It looks really lovely, as do your new girls. I bet you'll be up and out in the morning to spend the day playing with them all .

[Chickvic]

Congratulations! I missed all the excitement yesterday as my internet went down Decided on names for your new girls yet?

[Ygerna]

Well, hubby is *supposed* to be in charge of naming them, I've been nagging him all week to come up with some, but he is worse than when we tried to find names we liked for our children and we had nine months to do those

 

I quite like the idea of 'Ocean' and/or Valentine I will put these to him later and see what he says.

 

All 4 of the girls in the cube made it up the ladder into the roosting area on their own. But, when I checked on them just now, three were in the nest area and one was perched in the door area to it

 

Hubby has spent about 40 minutes just sat in the viewing gallery (sofa by patio doors, ) watching them all before the light went. Teehee, I think he's hooked

I have also spent time catching the girls, popping them into the Cube via the back and letting them find their way out via the ladder.

 

The neighbours are going to think I am nuts

 

Yeh they are if you keep popping them in the back of the cube!!

 

Pleased for you. Its a great day when they arrive isn't it.

[Cooks]

I have a viewing gallery like that..

[Mrs Webmuppet]

I have a sofa in the conservatory, unfortunately it faces the wrong way but it's handy for kneeling on and chook watching and there's a handy window ledge for placing cuppa's on!

[Redwing]

I'm glad it's arrived safe and sound.

 

How are the two new girls?

[Ygerna]

I'm glad it's arrived safe and sound.

 

How are the two new girls?

 

The two new girls are still looking like they have landed on Mars But, I'm sure they will get used to it. They look very young, extremely small, pale combs and almost non exisitant wattles. However, they finally have names!

 

Hubby has called one 'Clover' she has a pale patch of feathers at the base of her body, just where her tail feathers start, and her tail feathers are fluffier than her friends. Her friend was named 'Lola' by ED. She said we had to call her Lola as our cat is called Charlie

 

I've been watching the girls going up and down the cube ladder, and there has been some activity in the nest area but so far today only 2 eggs I hope the cubes assembly, the new girls and all the Eglu and Cube moving today hasn't unsettled their laying

 

I'm really pleased with the work I have done today. The ground was slightly uneven around the cube run so I've filled the dips in. I have also placed the patio slabs around the edge to make a walkway and help keep in the Aubiose until we can put a proper edge round it. I've raked up the old Aubiose and poo and thats now in the composter and I've stablezoned the entire area. It looks much better. I am now physically aching though and exhausted as my 7 month has been teething. Still it is satisfying to look out and see it all looking so much better.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Well done . Sounds like you've been working hard . Have a cup of tea on me .

[Plum]

Clover and Lola. Have they been pulling faces at the other girls?

 

Sounds like you have had a busy day and I bet you change it all again tomorrow.

[Jules.]

I'm glad it's arrived is soooo

[Seagazer]

Well done, you sound like you had a really busy time

[Janty]

Congrats on the new cube.

 

Don't know about hubby being hooked...I think you are too!
