loubielou Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 My hubbie got home about half and hour ago and bought the chickens into the kitchen. We briefly opened the box to show the boys. They look great! The Faverolles (Dora) was all fluffy as she has been grooming aparently, and looked quite stressed. She was panting with her beak open - I hope she will be OK?. The Light Sussex (Harriet) was asleep! and the RIR (Mabel), who is a lovely rust colour, was very keen to look around. We then took them down to the house which I had got ready with shavings and their feeder and drinker inside (which took up alot of room...) We popped them in which was quite funny as none of them wanted to move out of the way for the others, especially Harriet who had her eyes shut!!! I put her up on the perch which seemed to wake her up and she hopped down and found the water. The Fav still looked a bit stressed... Is there anything else I should do tonight, or just leave well alone? I'm dying to go and check on them through the egg flap!!! I haven't been able to take any piccies yet, but will post some tomorrow to show you all. Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
