Purplemaniacs Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I have plans for some exbatts this year, plan on getting another eglu and OH is going to extend the WIR with a seperate section for them until they are strong enough to join the other girls. I would like to get them from Brackley as my Mum and Dad lived there for some years. Do you have regular rehoming sessions in Brackley.

Snoxy Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Have you had a good response this time Emma? My girls are doing so well and I adore them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I intend to rehome some in a month or two from Brackley. I hope this months goes well. Snoxy what sort of condition were yours in when you got them. I intend to put them in a new section (not yet built ) of the WIR seperated from the girls until they are stronger, I want to put the eglu up on a table, but am now worried about whether they could manage to climb a ladder? Thanks Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Some of them are in good condition, however all mine have been pretty featherless and weak. Jumping up and down the ladder would probably cause extra strain on joints that are already sore. One of my latest girls had a green bruise from just being removed from the cage (it faded to yellow and is gone now), Em also recommends taking out the roosting bars until they are stronger. Have a look at my latest pics, you can see how I have sectioned off part of my WIR with a rabbit run and a little hutch for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Thank you scarlettohara, I was intending to put them in my eglu and run initially just to keep them away from my gilrs for a week or two and then move them into the new WIR section so that they could safely see the girls to make integrating them easier once they were ready, so I will keep them in the eglu and run until they are strong enough to manage a ladder. Nearer the time (when OH has completed the building work) and I have bought another or I will post asking for advice, planning for exbatts is exciting but scary too Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I did that with my first 2 and they loved it, I intend to put all 4 together in the eglu and extended run eventually but one of my new girls is a feisty little madam (and she is tiny ) so think it will take a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoxy Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Hi Chrissie I agree with Scarlettohara climbing the ladder would be a challenge for ex batts. My girls did surprise me I have to say as I expected them to be a lot more Unsteady on their legs when we got them. My girls are very happy in the Eglu And run. I pop them into a sectioned off area within the free ranging area during the day. I havent attempted to integrate them with my other 15 girls yet because I wanted to give them a chance to feather up nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I believe it went very well today It must have done as I was plan B for any leftover batts and none arrived!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I believe it went very well today It must have done as I was plan B for any leftover batts and none arrived!! I hope you are right Redwing and they all found homes. Snoxy Thank you for your information, when I get them I will put them in the eglu and run until they are fit and then in the new section of the WIR with the ladder to the eglu and then gradually intergrate them with the girls. I am getting eggcited at the prospect now, I wonder if I can get organised in time for the next rehoming, will it be the end of February?

Snoxy Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Excellent news Redwing Just love it when every goes to plan Chrissie it would be great if you could take some girls at the end of Feb. I collected 5 girls a couple of weeks before Christmas and I adore them just great characters. All are feathering up nicely apart from one who is lagging behind but she will get there eventually How many are you in hoping to collect?
