reggy81 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) So they are here, I went to pick them up this morning and they are all lovely! They seemed to cope very well with the hour and half drive back to Bristol except one of them hasn't come out of the cube yet. The other 3 have but she's just stayed inside. Is this normal and when should I be concerned? We've just been sat watching them for the last hour! We'll put some pictures up later but they are Dotty, Speckle, Pepper and Fifi!

meezers Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hurry up with the piccies ! mine stayed in their cooop for a few hours when they first arrived, if she's in there too long, maybe put a little food and water in with her, though she'll probably just kick it over !

Ecky Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hi, my chickens have landed on Friday and I had the same problem. One of them just wouldn't come out. I left her to it and the next day she was brave (or hungry) enough. I'm sure she will be out tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sti chick Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 congrats on your girls I have had my 12 girls for 4 weeks now and i too was worried when they wouldn't come out of the house but all changed on day 4 when they responded to my voice when i called them. The first week i did think i had made a terrible mistake and had brought 12 poohing machines but now we are settled, we get some eggs now, 5 at the moment and i can honestly say.......i am hooked . lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percydub Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hey guys , she came out after a couple of hrs , she was also the first one to figure out the water pot. They have just put themselfs to bed which was funny watching as they would take it in turn to jump on the ladder then back off again, but they are now tucked up in bed . Pics come shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
