Penguin Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 My eglu and new babies are coming soon - but not soon enough! I have to wait until 13 June! I am having a and and . I've even started a Chicken Countdown in my classroom so that I can see the number of days getting smaller and all my students can share my excitement (and they're not even primary age - my tutor group are all 17......). How is the best way to tell my boyfriend that he will soon be sharing his garden with them - I haven't quite got round to telling him that they're on the way .......!

badgerbluebadger Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Just mark the date on your calender at home - I bet your Bf doesn't ever look at - that way when they come you can say I am sure I told you and the date is on the calender!

seraphine Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Ooooh me too! It can't be normal to go to sleep and wake up thinking of chickens and Eglus can it?!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Congratulations, Penguin . You'll just have to spend all that time till 13 June reading up on chickens and buying lots of chickeny paraphenalia . It can't be normal to go to sleep and wake up thinking of chickens and Eglus can it?! Yup, perfectly normal (round here at least ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I never told my OH the whole of our village knew except him...does boyfriend need to know..see how long it takes him to realise...I had to wait quite a few weeks and they arrived this week but its well worth the wait. I am really happy with my omlet and the chickens are great and friendly birds..v easy to look after.

Plum Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Great news tell the boyfriend you are expecting then when you tell him its chickens he'll be relieved. (or dissapointed ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Welcome to the forum. You know the format ... just wait till he gets home and sees them, and then say 'Chickens? Oh, those old things - no, I've had them for ages, they're not new!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Poor you , all that time to wait, but how fab , that they are definitely on their way. OH's always come round in the end. Mine said he wouldn't have anything to do with the chooks, but he has just built them a walk in run, spends a lot of time in the garden with them, and he's a member of this forum now too . Don't worry, chickens are addictive, they get everyone in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
