becks Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Sadly one of my chickens died this weekend - she had been looking ill a while ago but seemed to have recovered but then sadly went downhill very quickly last week. This now leaves me with the problem of only having one left on her own. Much as I love my chicken keeping, I am six months pregnant and don't feel its the right time for me to get more at the moment so I am hoping that someone kind will rehome Beryl my remaining chook. She is a white girl and lays lovely tasty eggs. She is a bit shy about being handled but is a healthy girl and no trouble at all. I would be happy to deliver her within reason - I live in Central London so anywhere within say an hours drive. I am keeping my eglu and hope to get some new girls next spring. I hope one of you lovely people can help me. Becks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty e Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I may well be able to rehome Beryl. I will talk to the OH (as this will require extra housing, time to create the double ended eglu!), but I'm sure there are other ladies out there who could offer Beryl a home if OH is mean about it or if you'd rather she went to a home with fewer chooks.

The Dogmother Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Try emailing barbara@omlet.co.uk too Becks, she might know of someone who would take Beryl for you if auntye can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aunty e Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 We can! OH agrees that it's time for the bantams to have their own place ( not another eglu until I'm richer though but a pretty wooden ark ) so that means we have space in the eglu! If you like anyway I won't be offended if you find someone else! I'm about to pm you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Lucky you aunty e! I was going to say you don't have a lot of room left in that eglu now do you. Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Hi Becks. Sorry to hear about Daphne, and I can understand your decision. I'm glad that you'll be hoping to start again in the Spring, when your newborn is settled, very wise. I would love to adopt Beryl! I have a little white star & really wished I'd got more than one white chicken. One more hen would easily fit in, and I have plenty of space to take care to introduce her gently. Of course, if you have another offer that suits you, that's fine. But you know where I am! I can easily be around most times over the next few days, prob. the sooner the better for Beryl. Will check for mail later if you want to pm me, best wishes whatever you decide, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 oops, I was typing when you posted, Aunty e....after you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty e Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 As the forum glitch ate the last couple of posts on this thread, I just thought I'd say that we picked Beryl up on Tuesday evening, and so far she's settling in well, with minimal feather pulling. It helps that she's quite feisty! I considered seeing if Becks would part with her little girl as well, who is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aunty e Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Here are some piccies of Beryl. She is difficult to get photos of because her two favourite places are under the lavender with Kitty or sitting on my feet! All settled in nicely, although the odd white feather is floating around the garden... Oh and Bonnie, looking ridiculous. She tapped on the window for ages before I shooed her back under the run cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Lovely pics, Aunty e. I'm glad Beryl has settled in so well, she looks lovely. Becks's daughter is adorable too, I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 What fabulous photos Beryl is a great reminder of what Gucci will one day look like - that beautiful big red comb...... and bedraggled Bonny made me laugh so much, I fuss when my girls get only a few drops of rain on them. Thanks for sharing those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
