simone Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 our came yesterday reading instructions says to keep chickens in run for 5 days, before letting out, but will be in WIR so just keep them enclosed in that for 5 days ? then let them in garden is this right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henhathnofury Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Don't be tempted to let them out...I know I wanted to but they are still getting used to their surroundings... Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scramble Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Oh dear I let mine out straight away Let's just say... they discovered how my sister would react when a chicken flew on her head I put then away after that And actually it wasn't me, my darling father was becoming a pest and begging for them to be let out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarahsausage Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I let mine out after a day but they were fine! They knew where they were meant to sleep so all was well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simone Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 1 more sleep before pick up me chickens, should get WIR finished today hubby is wonderful even when he hands are cut with the wire and sore from hammering,(he has bad arthritis) has grumbeld with making it,only once did i hear all this for bloody chickens he will be smitten when we get them tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 he will be smitten when we get them tomorrow Yup, I can confirm this...my DH who wasn't exactly anti-chickens, was infinitely less keen than me...but is now totally enchanted...and it was his "grand plan" for the WIR, I just complained about a sore back when cleaning the eglu & he even suggested buying the cube....and is constantly asking about Buffie & her Bufflings................they certainly wheedle their way in our hearts in super-quick time ! Good luck with your new girls, pics are expected when they arrive............ Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
