dancing cloud Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 How exciting! Bet you can hardly wait for the weekend. Four very lucky girls would definitely be if they knew where they'd be this time next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Brilliant, I love hearing about people that save the poor battery hens! - they arrive in such a sorry state but quickly progress into healthy confident hens. Its great to see - well done you!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*mummy_hen* Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Ex-batts are the best!! I have had my girls a year on saturday and they make us smile everyday. They are so amazing the way they learn 'normal' chicken things so quickly. Make sure they have plenty of water at first as my girls didnt understand they could drink freely at first. Make sure you post pics of your new girls. X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I'm collecting my three on Saturday too, Maud, Mimi and Meredith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I remember the first time, mine stood on grass, and then caught a worm... and then ran at quite a speed flapping their wings across the garden - you could just read their minds... "Yahooooooooo!!!!!!!" you're right they are amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tara Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 Im confused now because debbie comfirmed 4.30 with me on saturday but ive had an email from jo saying l can collect on saturday at 7.30 which l wont be doing as its an hour drive and my 2 year old needs to go to bed at a proper time.It was comfirmed with me so im feeling quite cross now.Im going to email debbie and ask whats going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Criceky that's late... by the time you get them back home and set up they'll be wanting to go to bed. Surely the email is incorrect. I'd be annoyed at that also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tara Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Well l emailed debbie and showed her the email l got from jo and she said that it must have been sent from the main rescue centre.So l will still be picking them up on saturdau there is no way l could of made 7.30 with 2 young children with an hours drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
