peckingham palace Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Hi Fantastic news you are up and running. I have 8 days until my cube and chickens turn up, how will I contain myself. Was told by the lovely people at Omlet they would ring me to give me a time for delivery, beggar that I've booked 2 days off work anyway. My DH is also keenly awaiting their arrival and most of my work mates have invited themselves over for a "welcome to the girls" party. Are we mental?? JillM I am in Worksop so not far from you in Sheffield. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Don't forget to serve them cocktails and cream egg cakes. Have a great day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillM Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Yes you definitely need time off work just to watch the chickens - it's amazing how long you can do that for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Hi I have 8 days until my cube and chickens turn up, how will I contain myself. Was told by the lovely people at Omlet they would ring me to give me a time for delivery, beggar that I've booked 2 days off work anyway. Are we mental?? Sounds like you work in the right place. I can't imagine my work colleagues being even remotely interested. Feel like a job swap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peckingham palace Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 They are a good bunch, most of them, the odd one thinks I'm nuts but do I care!!! Just thinking this time next week will be my last sleep beforethe girls arrive. I know, I know this sort of behaviour is not befitting a 40 something woman, oh well. Also will the welcoming party be know as a "hen party" Sorreeeeeee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chortle Chook Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 If you've been having a tough time then chickens (and this forum) are definitely the best for health and happiness . . . if not for wealth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peckingham palace Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Thanks cheaky chook, from what I have read on here everyone seems so friendly and welcoming and always ready to give useful tips and helpful advice for those of us who are new to chickens. They seem such funny sweet little things and I am really looking forward to having them around the place and getting to know their individual personalities. If anyone has any top settling in tips or good advice my ears are pinned back in anticipation. I'll take chickens anyday for the health and happiness, the wealth - well as they say ya can't take it with you when you go. Dee xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumfychuck Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Clever Sally has laid our very first egg and we are absolutely egggstatic! The other girls were having a lovely mid afternoon dust bath rolling round in the flowerbed when we noticed that Sally had sneeked back to the eglu and was sitting in the nest box. The second she emerged my daughter rushed to look and their it was OUR VERY FIRST EGG!! We were all so excited I want to put a pic up but I havent worked it out yet.
