Sarah M Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Hi everyone I have made a very difficult decision, I don't think hen keeping is for me anymore Apart form the fact that my cat is terrified of them and has almost moved out I am finding it too much of a tie Would anyone like to adopt them ? I would only let them go together as they have formed a good bond with each other, I also think it would be best if they could go to someone who can let them free range for as much of the day as possible. I currently leave them in the garden all day, even though we are not around (they wouldn't have it anyother way !!!) Their names are Ginger & Babs, they are a Pepperpot and a Gingernut, they both came to us from Omlet on the 13th July this year. Both are laying one egg a day each I have also got a green Eglu if anyone would be interseted in making an offer on it, if not I shall sell that on eBay soon Like I say, this is a very difficult decision and I will miss them both as they have such funny characters but I think the time has come for them to go to someone who is not as worried about their garden as I am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallina Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Sarah: I would love to have them, but would have to keep them in the run most of the time, as we have a fox. So regard me as a last resort! The run does have two extensions, and I could get a third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah M Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 Thank you ever so much for your offer but they will probably make too much noise to get out as they are used to being in the garden. How many other hens do you have ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina C Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I would love to have them as I adore my two and want more - but not sure other half would appreciate his lawn being completely taken over . Have passed your post on to a friend who may be interested. I am sure you will find a home for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallina Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I have three hens. As the biggest always sleeps in the nesting box and the other two huddle together, the Eglu is half empty and I am sure I could squeeze five in. I am planning to buy two more hybrids, but Omlet are out of stock at the moment. But as I said, think of me as a last resort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
