chickenlass Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 TOMORROW is "C DAY"... I collect my hens frome the battery welfare trust......YIPPEE.. these last few weeks have been the longest of my life waiting for my girls. I wonder which three I will get bless them. I already have thought of names what do you all think of these please? Tallulah....Margo..... and Angel [Angelica] I can hear you all tittering in the background at my choice of names but this is the best I have come up with so far and I am starting to think it is too late to change. as I intend to christen each one as I put them in the pet carrier. I'm getting quite nervous now in case I''m not a fit chicken mummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hen Watch Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 All the best for tomorrow. Your names are great. Once you've named them there is no going back. I tried to get my son to rethink the very original sounding "Henny" but to no avail. But he likes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Oh me too i get my new girls tomorrow as well! Chickenlass you will be a great chicken mum so try not to worry too much. As for choosing your girls i was given the advice to 'go for ones with character' - you will be able to spot the right ones for you straight away! When i got my first rescue girls i asked to pick them, whereas some people will allow the rescur people to just box some up for them. You will have a great day tomorrow and remember to take lots of photos!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
