cluckbok Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Congratulations that's fab, but are you sure two hens are enough, three is the perfect number to have, for lots of various reasons. I think most omleteers on here will agree and it's not like you haven't got the room in your lovely pink eglu! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poachedegg Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Congratulations....and another vote for 3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*mummy_hen* Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 How exciting....at least you have all weekend to prepare for them!! We expect to see pictures next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Ahhhhh - at least now you can go to Lidl & buy some cheap tins of sweetcorn. You have excuses to buy tubtrugs & crocs as well as things with chickens on! Congratulations! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raina Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 I think my mum is even a little eggcited lol She said that if i'm still interested in the hens in a few weeks (which i will be) that we will be getting some more We haven't even got any hens yet and we're already talking about getting a cube and i will post TONS of pics, i think you will all be sick of seeing them after the first set of pics I still can't belive i'm getting them on Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alih Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 We NEVER get sick of seeing pictures...if you are seriously thinking of getting more chickens I too would recommend you start with 3. Introducing new ones to an established flock takes time so if you can avoid it then go for 3 now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluckbok Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 We NEVER get sick of pictures, there can NEVER be too many pics on here we love em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I agree, get 3! It's easier to do it that way than try to introduce new ones afterwards... have a nosey around on here to see how difficult it can be........ so jump in with all your feet and get them all at the same time!
