Scramble Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 One of mine went in straight away but the other decoided to roost on the grub!!! I lifted her off and then I shone a torch by the door, I think they're attracted to the light but whatever it was it made her go in Then i could close the door. I'm sure everything will be fine Good luck! And we will all await the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennyhenny Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 Good news there in bed. I went out and one was in the eglu, tried to encourage the other two with a porch, one more went in so i shut the door, kept opening it when the third got close and then one of the other popped out Managed to get two in and in the end my son opened the run door and managed to get hold of the third and we popped her though the eggport - undignified I know I assume it will be all quiet now there in the eglu Will report names and put photos on tomorrow Thanks everyone Jennyhenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennyhenny Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 They seemed to be doing a little bit of bocking when I went out to try and get them to bed I assume its cos they were tired and didnt know where to go I darn't go back outside incase I disturb them, I assume they will be quiet now Sorry about the photos will fight with Flickr tomorrow Jennyhenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidygirlsuk Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 can't wait, i will be on here while eating my boiled egg tomorrow morning (shop bought no eggs yet) I got my eglu for new chicks last sat but no new chickens yet, i can understand your excitment. I was this bad yesterday and omlet weren't even delivering livestock to me, just a few bits; spare eglu roosting bars and colour co-cordinated sun shade, book, heart shapped frying pan, flower egg shapper, egg slicer, skelter, egg spatular, cockrel pattern oven glove, chicken egg whisk, and egg shapped kitchen timer(which was wrong, i wanted hen shapped one, but never mind). I never opened the door but i was shouting to hubby (as i was in bathroom) 'is it an omlet van' but no it wasn't never mind but i'm having fun with stuff. i bet you won't sleep well tonight, ididn't my first chicken night have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennyhenny Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 I'm up and been on pc for about an hour now, I can't sign in to Flikr I'm listening at the French doors I think I can hear the girls moving around in the eglu , do you think I should open up now, don't want to disturb the neighbours though. I don't think I can hear any boking though - will they start this soon Going back on to Flickr - try again Jennyhenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennyhenny Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 Need Help !!! I can't seem to make them any smaller, Im going into edit and resizing but still coming up big. Flikckr seemed so much easier Jennyhenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Must admit, I prefer Flickr too! Haven't used Photobucket a lot, but did notice recently that there is a box underneath where you click to upload images, marked "reduce size to". Choose the size you want and the image is saved as that size & no resizing required (check what size it was set to before). Hope that works!

Whenever I try and resize photobucket it just crashes so I tend to just give the 'direct link' so the size doesn't matter. Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennyhenny Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) I think I've done it - gave up with photobucket, eventually got on Flickr. Here they are - what youve been waiting for. Omlet arrived at 11.30 so that was brilliant, he was here about an hour. Spent most of the day just watching them and fighting with them last night to get them to bed They seem happy enough this morning, boking away, trouble is I keeping thinking "please I'm frightened to death of the neighbours http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3301/3413460681_4e4e531cc9.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3414/3413461151_57191561c8.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3564/3413461559_e4ea3d3ae7.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3571/3414267482_f4efa8fdcc.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3362/3413462335_167a7386ab.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3559/3414268218_ffc053edd7.jpg'>http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3559/3414268218_ffc053edd7.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3389/3414269082_0df22ddd5c.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3559/3414268218_ffc053edd7.jpg For some reason the photos arent showing just the links even though ive pressed IMG but at least there on here at last Jennyhenny Edited April 6, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
