Snowy Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 1 hour and 20 minutes to go until my eglu and chooks arrive! WHY am I sitting here? I need to tidy the house, rearrange the garden..... Will this hour ever end? I can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Wondered why you were up Snowy! GOOD LUCK! Have you had the terrible storm overnight? We've got branches all over the place here and our yard out the front is now a swimming pool. I do hope you've got a garden left.... but then again... once the girls arrive you won't be looking at your plants for a while... unless its to say "oh, they've eaten that plant"!

Snowy Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 Oh I'm usually up - (2 toddlers and all that!) - but not usually alert enough to turn the PC on! Haven't been out to see the garden yet - it's still dark! 55 minutes to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Only 50 now! Just think, they'll be on their way to you as we speak! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 25 minutes to go and it's tipping down - I've got to go out in that!! Don't think we had a storm last night - at least the garden is still intact from what I can see. Hubby has kindly just reminded me that i'll be 'going out in that' every morning from now on!

Christian Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Oh Snowy I remember the excitement sooooo well. It feels like ages since we got the girls but was only July 21st. I know what you are going through!!! I waited in the bathroom so I could see the Omlet van come down the lane - he drove straight past us - 'No' I screamed. I went running up the road shouting and waving like a lunatic Enjoy your day - you will never look back! Christian x x x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 You Christian? Like a lunatic? Can't quite imagine that! Poor Snowy. Its tipping down here. Hope it dries up for her when they arrive.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 They must have arrived by now! Let us know when you have a minute, Snowy! And, happy chicken keeping, life will never be the same from this moment on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Are they there yet? Do we have photos??! It tipped down the day we got our first chickens (although we had to go to a breeder as we're miles out the Omlet chicken delivery zone!), but we just stood in the rain, under the brollies, fascinated for hours!

Snowy Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 I'VE GOT CHICKENS!!!! It's world war 3 out there at present - the tweenies have been sent into the eglu by the fimbles, who are strutting round the run like they own the place! I don't think they realise that they also have to sleep in there tonight! Will take piccies as soon as the dust has settled. They are so gorgeous!

Snowy Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 Well Florrie and Pom are definitely top chooks. Fizz is cowering in the eglu and won't come out, but is also having a go at anything that comes near her! Bella is determined she won't be kept in, so keeps coming out and is eating well. Every now and then the fimbles send her back in again, but she just chunters at them and pops back out again! Someone's tried to put Pom in her place as she has a small wound already, but it's not bothering her. Just waiting for some backup so I can get hold of her and treat it. Here are the pics so far........ Bella Pom Florrie Bella again (she is so photogenic!) Haven't spent this much time in the garden for ages!
