tracyann Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Well, I'm so excited, my chicken coups have arrived, they were delivered yesterday and I have someone coming to put them up for me today. I now have a feeder and drinker.... Now going to a different place to look at some hybrids, I found somewhere that had 16 week old chooks and a better price and prettier hens. I'm really excited that I am getting my girls on Tuesday.... Mum and Dad are even excited about getting some hens, has given my father who is ill with Parkinson's Disease and heart failure a new lease of life, all he's talking about is when he kept chickens as a boy (he's 82) and that he wants a red one... My Mum want's a black one, I want speckledy..... I'm going to be a nightmare when I get my first egg. Friday - three days and counting Love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanTheDiver Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I use Upsons all the time, not actually had chooks from there yet but probably will when I catch Morehens Disease Upsons are great for chickeny & horsey stuff and really nice people too Good luck & enjoy them.
