Pedro1962 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) I've had my call and the Omlet man will be with me between 8 and 11 tomorrow morning with my , and (together with loads of chicken "essentials"). Once we're all set up, I will be off to Thornes with my DD to select 2 or 3 other girls to join the fun. Needless to say, I am very excited...

Pedro1962 Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Well, Isabelle and I had tried to be patient, but that had lasted all of one nanosecond. Thanks goodness that the Omlet van arrived at 8.30am! The girls had graciously laid an egg in transit! Once installation was completed and the omlet girls were settled, we headed off to Thornes. The selection wasn't great but we close a Goldline, a Speckledy and a White Star. Our has installed herself as top hen and has had a go at the Speckledy, who seems to have accepted her lowly rank. As expected, the White Star is a flighty little madam and quite a handful. My DD is absolutely besotted, although she didn't like the nastiness involved in establishing the pecking order. Pictures? You want pictures. Oh, OK then... Look. There's plenty of room. The Omlet girls. Goldline Speckledy As for the White Star, I haven't yet managed to get a photo of her. Just checked and they have all found their way to bed. Clever girls! What an exciting day!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro1962 Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Super pictures. Congratulations. Do they have names yet? Thanks. I'm rather chuffed. Isabelle and I have a (long) list of hen names and we will be making decisions at the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
