Purplemaniacs Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 (edited) First thing tomorrow we are off to Merrydale to hopefully get some new girls. Our lovely new WIR is rather empty with just three girls and they look lost in the cube, so we are hoping to get three more tomorrow. Very eggcited but a bit worried about the introductions but hope it all goes ok. Chrissie Edited May 2, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplemaniacs Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 I liked the idea of different coloured eggs so we wanted a blue/green layer and a white layer. Well we went to buy three but we came home with four , two crested and we intended to get one snowbell but that left one snowbell on her own so we had to bring her home too I have been trying to get some photo but they keep hiding, I will keep trying as I know how much you all like photos Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplemaniacs Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 I am struggling to get a decent picture, but I will ask OH if he can put some pictures on tomorrow. One of the white ones we are calling Daisy and one of the crested ones grandaughter has called Toffee. Struggling over names for the other two. The white ones are hiding in the eglu, the other two are in the run, hope they take themselves to bed soon. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
