JillM Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 hi hunny chickens are fab arnt they ,i love that you have the chicken mum uniform sorted already . lol out in your pjs to collect eggs , my chicken uniform is dressing gown and wellies im sure my neighbours must think im crackers lol have a look round the site there is loads of advise and tips it helped me a lot when i first started out Yes my pyjamas and dressing gown must make me look so glamorous at early o'clock! Wellingtons would be a good idea but I can't struggle with them at that time in the morning so my best boots I use for work are no longer my best boots....and is there really any point in cleaning the mud off them only to get it all over them again? Still, as long as the girls are happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkysmum Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 good morning Elaine & a warm welcome from everyone at Sparkysmum's house too . You will love your hen- watching hours & if you are like most of us on the forum you will soon wonder how you managed to do anything else Good wishes, Alli xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshchwcks Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Yes Jemima is mahoosive....I laughed out loud when I first saw her but she is the hen I have always wanted so I am so happy...Dotty, she is tiny compared to her but she is as mad as a hatter! Dotty has started to stand one end of the garden, flap like mad then run to the other end....like an old fashioned toy you wind up and let go.....best of all, because of her fluffy legs she looks like she's holding her skirt up and showing her bloomers....I love it!
