greyrescue Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 We picked up our 6 ex batts yesterday afternoon from Haslingdon i must admit being first time chook owners we were like cats on hot bricks checking on them worried if theys find there food and water ect. they huddled into a corner of the run at first, then the smallest and baldest little one kind of took charge she was 1st into the house and fisrt to tell the dogs off and first to venture out of the house for another nosy around followed by the others bless her . Well this morning i got up at 7am and opened up the the house then i went back to bed for an hour, they still havent ventured out this am but i have been left a gift of 2 PERFECT EGGS i am sooooooo excited didnt expect any laying for a while but im so pleased. judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 No matter how many times you get new chickens you always check them about a million times in their first couple of days. And bless the little one she was probably thinking right none of you are doing anything and i'm cold i'm going to see where I can get warm. Hope you get a lot of fun out of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alet_chicken Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 How wonderful! Bless their little scraggly socks. No matter how many times I've picked up ex-batts (3 times now, from Haslingden too!), these "firsts" always bring a tear to my eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
