amaryllis Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hi all, I've been following your posts with interest. Took delivery of my blue eglu yesterday. Now looking forward to finding a place to put it in the garden. Hoping to get 3 chooks when it's ready. No doubt i'll keep you posted. As a complete novice i'm sure there will be loads i need to ask. 2 yorkies Alfie & Fudge 2 budgies Jimmy & Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanTheDiver Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hi Amaryllis Welcome, I have only had my girls for nearly two weeks and have found this forum invaluable as a novice. Good luck with the chickens, lets see pics when you get them. Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanTheDiver Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I love having my girls, I didn't realise that Chickens had such characters until I got them. I wouldn't be without them now! It's amazing how quick you get attached to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amaryllis Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 When we have sited the eglu on woodchips in the garden. Have bought things I think I may need eg health products. Just need food and bedding oh and of course chickens! We live at sheffield so will hopefully be getting them from Storrs Farm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenNutter Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hi Amaryllis, I'm new too, had my girls (two banties and a Welsummer) for about 7 weeks and I am besotted. I can't wait to get home from work everyday to see them. Still waiting for my first egg as they are still babies, but I'm not really bothered about the eggs, I just love them as little chickeny people. They are soo funny! Try and go on an Omlet hen party if there is one near you - I did and found it invaluable. I still have loads of questions too, so you wont be alone.

amaryllis Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Luckily I work nights so I will get to see them in the day. I'm sure I will fall in love with them too. The eggs will just be a bonus. I find it all so interesting, spend ages browsing on here. At least it should be fine at the weekend so hopefully should get it all done.
