CluckyP Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Hi all, our new girls arrived today and are enjoying their new home. Thanks to all you experienced parents who have given so much info to us newbies on this forum. Hope we can do the same when we learn. The day has flown past just watching our new time wasters and cant wait for the new day to arrive to do it all again! Two golden rangers and two amber rangers in a purple classic. Great!!

Plum Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Congratulations I look forward to hearing how you get on today. You won't believe how much time you are going to spend outside now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CluckyP Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Well, it's started already!! Both of us didn't sleep too well worrying about them, wondering if the coop was big enough and are they sleeping alright. We got up just before seven (a first for a Sunday!) to check on them. We should not have worried, as the girls, of course, were fine. As I sit here in the study looking down the garden at them, they seem quite content, munching and scratching around! Can't wait til we can let them out to enjoy wrecking our garden. One question we have......why didnt we do this years ago!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammiboo Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 congratulations!! they are very addictive - hence my absent posting on here of late. As we have had such lovely weather i have been out in the garden with them the whole bank holiday weekends They will give you loads of enjoyment and entertainment i assure you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CluckyP Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 What a day! Everyone was at work apart from me, so you can guess what I did all day?? Yep, nothin but chicken watching ;0) Managed to get Babs out for a cuddle and hand fed two of them some corn for a treat. Even Alfie our miniature Schnauzer laid down at the side of me watching too. I like this life..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouldercroft Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 congrats! don't forget to plan twice as much time as before for anything garden related... I planted some veggies yesterday and it took all day as I had to take every worm and grub that I found over the girls- bless 'em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LolaLayla Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 You will soon be fluent in chicken speak too I am sure my neighbours think I am mad as I cluck along with the girls while I garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
