Snowy Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Am I just sad, or has anyone else experienced this? I've got the garden ready, now am just waiting for some pennies to come through then I can order the Eglu and chooks. In the meantime, I'm like a woman possessed. I've taken the kids to all the local farm parks ("Mum, can we look at something else rather than the chickens today?"); read through this forum; surfed the net; checked out all the local suppliers; bent anybody's ear who's willing to listen - is there anything I've missed? Is it me?..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Position a bench or log near where the eglu is going to go, as you may need somewhere to sit and watch the girls when they arrive karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Snowy you sound just like I was pre chooks. I remember looking out of the window every half hour thinking "that's where the chickens will be". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 Yes yes yes - I'm doing that as well! I've already got the run next to the 'patio' (for want of a better word) so there is a viewing area - good suggestion! ...sigh.... suppose it won't be long now.

Lesley Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 You could check what the delivery time is at the moment - you might need to order early so that it is ready when you have the pennies. Or do you have to pay when you order? - I can't remember........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I had to wait a while as my order was delayed and I drove my lot round the bend by screeching "Chick-ens!" at the top of my voice everytime we saw any in a field, garden or farm ! Unfortunately I still haven't got out of the "Chick-ens!" yelling habit when we're out and about . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheilaz Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 ... Unfortunately I still haven't got out of the "Chick-ens!" yelling habit when we're out and about . I did that on a crowded train and had a whole carriage full of people looking out into an orchard full of chickens. Then, looking back at the sad woman who'd called out! I can understand your excitement whilst saving up for the Eglu. Hope it won't be long for you. Meanwhile, you can share all chciken thoughts here!

Cinnamon Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I am so glad I am not alone on this one "My name is Sarah,& I do the chicken shout" I found a lovely little chickenopolis just down the road the other day.I have driven past hundereds of times & never noticed it as there is a high hedge,but we were in The Hubbys van on the way to pick up bales of Aubiose,so I peeked it I even made him drive really slowly on the way back,so I could get a proper look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
