MarkBevBen Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Thought I'd show you a picture of our lovely ladies Seems they're settling in just fine in their pink apartment We chose their names as they're our 2nd Wedding Anniversary present and cotton is traditional for your second year So we ended up with Cottie, short for cotton and Dottie and Lottie rhyme!

MarkBevBen Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Lovely! Did you select chucks with a pink hue, or is that photoshop (or maybe my eyes - I don't have glasses on yet ) we just got ones that Omlet supply - maybe it's their sun-shade that's making them look pink??

Valkyrie Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 They are new breeds to match the Eglu of course! Lovely piccie, thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelbel Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 They are beautiful - rather like my three - even down to the 'ginge' looking to be a bit of a handful (in the nicest possible way). Those combs look a nice size and nice and red - get ready for your first egg/s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burtie14 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I reckon that Dotty will be the handful - she looks just like my Betty, with a naughty glint in her eye, but an expression that says "What?? Me?!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then today, we've had another two! Yipppeee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me?!" Burtie Well, Dottie seemed to be the boldest one yesterday when they first entered their run and she went in the Eglu bit first. But then Cottie seems to 'talk' to you, if I say hello, she 'coos' back so very outgoing too! Then last night, we observed Lottie making this 'different' noise as it was going dark and then they all packed off to bed in their Eglu! So maybe she's Lottie the leader? They're so much fun to watch though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy-Deb Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 aww lovely pictures, they all look great. I love the pink eglu, so wish I could have one too. The girls look stunning too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migsy Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 They look great. How lucky you are to get eggs so soon I often wonder where Omlet get their chickens from. Is it a secret? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoxy Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Fantastic girls Had to wait a few weeks when my original 3 girls arrived from Omlet back in April 08 before an egg was laid...so you are very lucky Cottie looks just like our Princess Leia (RIP) and Lottie looks just like our Cleo(patra) So wanted to order a pink Eglu but my 3 boys would not have been impressed...although my daughter loves pink...but her next fav colour is purple Enjoy your girls...wont be long before you increase your flock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes we're absolutely thrilled to have been given eggs so soon! I thought we'd have to wait days/weeks, but there you go! The Omlet man did say that another of his other customers hens actually laid an egg whilst in transit, so they're a good batch apparently! I don't know where they get them from maybe someone on here from Omlet could let us know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what folks mean now when they say you need a nice comfy chair!! And our Ben is mesmorised with them, he's ever so gentle as he watches and is always by my side when we check the nesting box for eggies. He seems really protective of them already in his own little way bless him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
