Luvachicken Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Thanks Iwescott for that - no lilac ones though but now I know what they're called I'll have a look round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy-Deb Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 Hi got mine from http://www.flytesofancy.co.uk/chickenhouses/Coop_cups_galley_pots.html dont think they have lilac though. They are very useful to have. Wish they did a slightly bigger size though. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy-Deb Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 I was 'brave' yesterday and let them all free range a bit together. Took a few pics but havent had chance to upload them, will try later tonight. It went reasonably ok for a first session. The exbats were hesitant but did eventually come out of their run and meet the older girls. I put them a big dish of food down and they all tucked in together for a bit. There was no agression/pecking from my older ladies, or Baldy Betty (exbat) but after a while Matlida (other exbat) decided she wanted to do some pecking and chasing of 'other' girls. Needless to say they legged it. I honestly thought it would be one of the established girls that would strive to be head chuck but think Matilda is the one.....which completely suprises me as shes been the timid one so far!! Be interesting to see how it all pans out and if it changes. Roll on Thursday when can let them all out together again for another session.

beach chick Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Matilda has obviously seen an opportunity to be one-up on some other girls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy-Deb Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 Heres a little update. A quick reminder of how the exbats Bald Betty and Mad Matilda looked when first arrived. Today in the snow with my other girls. All looking a bit dirty as had been dirt bathing it in the WIR before let them out into the snow. Looking at me wondering if got any treats for them. They really are not keen on the snow. Buffy and Matilda (exbat now top chook) Hope you can see how much they have come along in such a short few weeks and despite all the rotten weather thrown at them. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
