docsquid Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 My first three girls arrived in October last year, and initially it was agreed we'd get three more once these had settled in. But DH didn't like all the mud and digging and so he wouldn't let me get any more chickens. He was also sceptical about a WIR. But....since dividing the garden with Omlet netting so they don't dig so much, and persuading him a WIR would be easier to keep clean and easier for me to dig out the hemcore, I'm getting a WIR on 22nd July AND!!!! hopefully 3 more chooks (bantams this time) in August!!!! Ooh, how exciting. At last my plans are coming together. The final obstacle was removed this afternoon when I contacted the last of our neighbours (who was on holiday last week) and was told they didn't object to chickens at all I feel like dancing!

Plum Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Great news. I am really pleased for you, I know how much you wanted more. Have you thought what bantams you would like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISCA Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I love it when a plan comes together. What batams will you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docsquid Posted June 26, 2010 Author Share Posted June 26, 2010 Probably a Pekin or two, and maybe a silkie or wyandotte. They need to stand up for themselves with the big girls, so will need to be feisty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsylabrador Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Very well done with the man management too. I expect you knew you would eventually get things how you wanted them. Patience is definitely the key. Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
