Gelbel Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Yes, yes, yes! One of my girls has turned into Houdini. DH said yesterday that we need some sort of big pen thingy with a roof and a door to walk in. So that's a WIR for me next summer (when I should get a bonus ) - I can fudge it in the meantime.

JS1 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Congratulations - it's great when they come up with these ideas independently, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelbel Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 It seems to me we all start off with a little house and a little run but, if you have the space, you end up with some great palace with a WIR. But I am NOT getting any more girls. You can hold me to that. I genuinely feel I do not have the room for more than 3 to FR nicely and I am too lazy for the introductions and all that malarky.

Space Chick Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I agree, I started with 4 and a cube in April, the WIR was built in July and 4 girls added, then came the ex batts, then a couple more pure breeds I couldn't resist. So count now at 12, and total expenditure to date probably around £4000 (By the time you include everything cube, WIR, webcam, tables, food, bedding etc etc) So looking at my current egg tally, I reckon an egg costs around a fiver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Eggs... What are those + WIR Lavender Mabel Posh Marjorie Violet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Shirl Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Our eggs cost about 20euros each. We built a shed and run that is now vacant. That was a fortune. Are we happy though? Yes indeed we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
