debsygooch Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Congratulations. I was exactly the same when I knew my girls were coming and can remember how it feels like it was yesterday. Now almost a year later and two more girls added to the flock I know you won't regret getting them for a minute!! Don't forget to post lots of pictures.

peckingham palace Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Thanks all, I can't remember the last time I was this excited - its mad!!! Already thinking how we can utilise more garden and have a WIR and more chickens. I have a feeling this is going to be addictive and yes, I hope the weather is better tomorrow I have my garden chair ready for chicken watching.

Plumfychuck Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Soooooooooooo excited for you. Whatever the weather you enjoy them so much We got egg no 3 today and it still caused huge hysteria in our house! Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peckingham palace Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Thanks Plumpychuck. At Easter I thought I would pop some cream eggs in for DH to find, well out of the way of the chickens of course. Cannot wait until tomorrow, its like all my birthdays have come at once. Am just thinking how to introduce more hens once I get these once established - anyone got a spare eglu for hire??? Well so many friends have asked for eggs, it would be rude not to get more wouldn't it. Oh no, have I caught Morehens disease already ???

peckingham palace Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 woohoo they are here, soooo beautiful and an egg laid en route to us. Dogs had a look at them and just thought, oh well some more new arrivals, what will she think of next. Am so so happy with them. Have taken a squillion pics and as soon as I can drag myself away from the garden for long enough I will post some. Hubby just popped to shop for some raisins, grapes, brocolli just in case they fancy an afternoon snack. Must say the chap from Omlet was fab.
