casiraghiegg Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 (edited) After getting my Eglu via ebay the other week I collected 4 girls from Toni just down the road yesterday and I am in love already. They arrived in the rain and were quite happily exploring their new 'des. res.' with its extended run within minutes. The 2 Gingernuts are more confident than the 2 Pepperpots and there is 1 slightly older bird (Betty) who seems to be in charge. I got soaked and loved every minute. My three cats wandered out at various times but none was more surprised than Princess Kitty whose great big googly eyes were the biggest I had ever seen. I could see her thinking 'they are the biggest pigeons I've ever seen! How will I manage one of you?' (Little does she know eh!) I kept popping in and out but imagine my surprise (despite Toni telling me that 'this one' will probably start laying soon) when I saw an egg in the nesting box less than 4 hours after arrival. Went out to tuck them up (frequently) and they had put themselves to bed by 9.30pm. I took some pics and am setting up an album (pic of me is awful but its the egg you'll be looking at). http://club.omlet.co.uk/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=214461 Caroline Arrived 30/05/10 - Betty 30/05/10 - Gladys - Pearl - Ruby The Cats - Miss Madelaine, Princess Kitty & Millicent Pickle Edited May 30, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casiraghiegg Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 Hi again I've added a link in my original post to my album. Sorry for delay, I'm struggling a bit with how to use the forum & stuff. Can anyone tell me how I delete the HIDEOUS photo of me that I have managed to add to the front of the chickens album? http://club.omlet.co.uk/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=214461 Caroline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
