katieadams Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 very lovely ... my 4 year old says that she is scared... but can stroke them...luckily they all crouch and a couple are very docile and let her stroke for ages have fingers crossed for your Beaky to lay you a little egg soon! Lily sings "chuck chuck chuck chuck chicken, lay a little egg for me".. i am not sure if it helped but its cute! Ha ha yeah Hannah told me the other day that there's no wonder Beaky isn't laying us eggs yet because I haven't sung the song to her in ages!! We went out and sang it immediately Lucy (just turned 2) was heard last week saying very firmly 'no frighten me, chickens' so I think they have cleared the air and are best of friends now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katieadams Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 Very cute indeed - also have to agree with the fluffy bum!!! comment from Scrambled_ is she a Bluebell? Yes she is, Hannah had decided she wanted one white, one 'ginger' and one black - but she changed her mind when she saw the bluebelles with their pretty feathers!

katieadams Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 Aww, soo cute! all of them! Agree with the fluffy bum remark too. Im sure non chicken people would think we are all wierdos talking about loving fluffy bums! Are there some none chicken people left then ?? I feel I should point out Mrs Little is in the background, and Butterfly is just peeking over Lucy's shoulder - I'd hate to leave them out !!!! Thanks for all the nice comments everyone, I've been reading them out to Hannah she thinks it's great! Still no eggs though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Patience Katie, patience. We only had one that was laying until Friday and my daughter rang me to say 'WE HAVE 2 EGGS!!!' Oh we were soooo excited. And this morning we found out who the 2nd culprit was. Blossom, bless her, is the sweetest most docile little chook, the one who always comes for a stroke and sits on your knee while she eats corn out of your hand, and now shes giving us eggs too along with Big Dora. I have to say Big Dora really is a big one, who sounds like shes been on 20 a day for 10 years! more of a growl than a gently bok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katieadams Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 Ha ha a growling chicken - you should have called her Deirdre not Dora I'm finding the wait easier to bear now Beaky is crouching - I feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel at last! And her dance is so amusing I almost forgive her I've never had a s"Ooops, word censored!" of patience, this is actually very patient for me!!!

Ours was boilded and eaten by Lily within 20 mins of being laid It wasdeclared "Delicious" by Lily, I did not get a taste! It will be fried (we've had plenty of time to think about it!!) because unlike the other methods I can do a fried egg perfectly every single time and this egg will not be an egg to risk over cooking!!!!! We have a book running in the house - I've got Thursday, my husband has Tuesday (don't know whether to hope I'm right or he is ). Maybe I should do a thread with a poll!!!
