ThinkingChickens Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I'm here! It's hard to find other Eglu owners over here. I have the Go and three girls and I'm saving for a Cube. We are three weeks new to chicken owning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouldercroft Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 welcome! I love your chicken names - very cute... I just installed my WIR but instead of upgrading to a cube I got another I figured it would give me more flexibility for introductions/quarantine/down-sizing http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=76293 lovely day in boston today...blue skies and almost warm if you sit in the sun and out of the wind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 there are a few but i think that perhaps the idea is to integrate then into the UK forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurmurf Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 they have to be kept separate first though, Claret, in case of pecking. I'm a fully integrated Yank! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swing both ways? *giggles* Yes, I agree, careful integration with quarantine in case of infection Nice to see that someone reads the FAQ section.

bouldercroft Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 My friend has three little girls who were all VERY excited about the wedding - I was slightly puzzled about the enthusiasm until she said 'but we don't have real princesses here' I guess I forgot the details that only Disney has princesses here - quite cute I thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebbieDee Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Hello Yes I'm brand new. Been a new chicken owner going on 8 weeks. I'm not sure of the breeds. I'm guessing 3 Rhode Island Reds and 3 Rhode Island whites. Not sure but the whites are substantially larger than the reds. All 6 are very aggressive to one another. I'm taking that as a sign of being Rooster's. I got 6 to insure 3 hens but I'm convinced no hens. I will start again and give these birds away.As it is there won't be eggs for a very long time. I cannot have rooters and I'm only allowed 3 hens in the city. They were straight run chicks. At the time I had no idea.I do now .I read about chickens every day.
