Donna C Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I know this will sound really weak and 6months ago hen i was watching my ex-batts raom happily i would have said"pull yourself together" but i've managed to leave girls outside for 1/2 hr without panicing and putting them back in as soon as they flapp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy-Deb Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 well done Donna, thats great. I havent left my girls out yet, as still settling in and waiting for my omlet netting so can section off part of the garden, then intend to let them out....but very nervous about doing it too. I have no idea what they are going to be like yet. Flapping or not. I reckon it will be me doing the flapping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna C Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Got to say feel happier now i've done it. When i actualy looked she only got about a foot off the ground. what breeds do you have? I've got two 10wk old orphingtons and am told they won't fly but i seem to have a habbit of getting the odd balls Got two g.pigs who will only go out in run for 10 mins before they conk and won't eat eny other veg then carrots, cabbege and kale and got chocolate lab who isn't fussed about food or playing ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MummyHen Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Donna well done My two older buff orpingtons are just big balls of fluff - they do run around the garden flapping but there's zero chance of them getting more than 18inches off the ground. My three growers two lemon cuckoo and one gold laced orpington haven't been out of the WIR yet - I've had them two weeks today so perhaps at the weekend I'll put the other group in the WIR for an hour and let them out for a flap.
