Nicola O Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Well, today I set up the new eglu next door to the existing one and the rescued ex- battery chooks are all booked and I collect them on 30th April. I'm really excited . I spent the whole time telling the girls about their soon to be neighbours, and that they may look a bit odd (I'm expecting bald, 'oven ready' chickens) and that they may seem a bit shocked and stunned by their new open air surroundings and fancy des-res. I hope the next door neighbours weren't listening or they may be booking my room in the funny farm as I type . I've got 10 days to work out how to post pictures so you can see them too, but I'm a techno dunce and find these things very confusing .

One Man Banned Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Well I'm sure that they'll settle in just fine and well done on get along just fine it's true that they'll be thrust into their new surroundings a la Eliza Doolittle but they'll be fine I'm sure And as for the neighbours - I think ours have guessed that we're mad - so too the passers by along the public path out the back garden A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Nicola, good luck, not long to wait now Are you getting yours from Jean (BHWT Essex co-ordinator) ? We have a rescue on Saturday 28th, so I'm guessing you'll be having some of those girls . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
