Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 You're not being silly, just a concerned chicken mum . Giving them a once over once a week is absolutely fine (I often forget for a lot longer than that ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fur 'n' Feathers Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 We're in the same boat and they have been fine. It's us that haven't - chicken withdrawal syptoms prevail throughout winter for us. Maybe there should be a CAD light (chicken affective disorder) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickiepiggies Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 yes i'm worried about chicken withdrawal, never had mine through winter, so its all new. i know i will miss them. when i come in from work they made my day seeing there little faces light up when they heard the conservatory door open, and i let them into the garden to play i'm so sad!!

Sarahsausage Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I'm going to miss seeing my girls too Also they won't be able to free range when I get home from work! I might let them out in the morning for half an hour before I go to work so they can stretch their legs. Oh I will miss them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanTheDiver Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I too have just had my first full day away from my girls and have missed going out to see them during the day. I have been working at home but will need to go in the office more now. I just had to retrieve the eggs after they had gone to bed and felt awful about disturbing them They didn't seem to mind too much and I got a stroke from two that I can't normally get too close to, so that was good; they were sleepy I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chick wiggle Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Yep, your definately not on your own, we work full time and not seeing them on a night is awful, just a peek in the nest box when they're all sleepy just isnt the same, lots of strokes are nice though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
