Eggy-Bread Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) Just in time OH completed my fantastic (well, me & the girls think so) walk-in run Matilda was not best impressed at the time (OH thinks she doesn't like the colour ), but she's now got the hang of going upstairs to bed etc. And, and, I got my bootiful new girls yesterday - so pretty . I would like to introduce Darcey and Gloria . So far introductions between the girls are.... interesting Once I find out how (blonde moment - have to ask OH), I will post some pics. Very happy chicken-mummy Edited August 20, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Chick Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Beautiful girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Wow, they're gorgeous . Forgive my ignorance, but what kind are they? (Not that I'm planning new girls or anything .) Err, where's the photo of the WIR ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggy-Bread Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 The WIR is now there. D & G went up first as 'test-pilots'. Now going to try to add a link to the building of the run.... here goes nothing. http://s926.photobucket.com/albums/ad103/MadyShipton/ChickenRun/ Darcy & Gloria are Black Rhodes - Rhode Island Red x Plymouth Barred Rock. But I wonder that they are also called Black Rocks? Correct me someone please if I'm wrong. Darcy is - apparently - what is known as a 'Magpie' due to her unusual colouring. Got to go and supervise bedtime now - wish me luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 What a fantastic WIR . Congratulations to your OH - he is a clever man . I love the built-in eglu shelf and the hooks fixing the ladder in place . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harriet88 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Ooh... Just noticed you are only in West Sussex, where did you get Darcy and do they have any more like her? (not that I need any more! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggy-Bread Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Thank you all. I'm am very pleased with the run and OH is now preening himself more than the chooks do because of all your comments! - Don't encourage him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eggy-Bread Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 LOL This is where I got Darcey & Gloria from - plus loads of chicken stuff They are really good and also (I've just found out but not used yet) have an email link to a chicken eggspert and/or vet. http://www.sprcentre.co.uk/ Survived bedtime in the chook-house. Matilda got all covered in confusion again about where to go but the new girls raced in and got their places to which 'Tilda took a rather dim view I'm sure things will settle down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
