Guest Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Congratulations you wont be disappointed they are great pets and apart from providing water shelter and food they are no bother, I mean what pet puts itself to bed at night time. Obviously you will be rewarded with some lovely eggs too as a bonus Good luck indie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 You will love them and so will your children. My children are real little eco warriors now - it has really made them look at the world around them and consider where their food comes from!

Lakes Chick Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 Ah, thanks Guys! Well things have moved on a little since this morrning. DH, who prior to this was still cross with me for the third chicken (there was only meant to be two), came over all strange and said why dont we convert the dog crate to a coop and fence it in with some big mesh pannels we have and bring the girls home now?!?! Well one fantastic improvised chicken house later and they are very happily pecking round in the garden, I fear that we have done such a good job that they my turn their noses up at the eglu when it arrives. I feel like a propper chicken owner now. Any wa,y off to get a glass of vino and watch them.

dancing cloud Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Aaww! Well done that DH! Love your girls' names too - and you got great weather for your first day of chook-viewing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 That's great news . Let's hope your OH comes over all strange more often (and you can sneak walk in runs, more chickens, chickenalia, etc, etc past him ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
