Mrs Blue Sky Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Hi Pekinpower nice to meet you! Is that really 15 hens in your garden? Blimey. Just 2 trashed mine, it looked like Glastonbury. Only without the fag ends. Chester sounds lovely; has he got long whiskers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Hello, welcome top the forum. Your horse sounds lovely and so do the hens you have. When did you get your eglu cube by the way? and what colour is it? Also don't forget to check out the silent auction too, all of the profits are going to the Battery Hen Welfare Trust, (BHWT for short) Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pekinpower Posted June 17, 2007 Author Share Posted June 17, 2007 We got our green cube about a month ago, it is fantastic. When we let all the chickens out of the shed they all make a bee line for the cube even though they don't live in it Chester the horse is only three so is just starting to be ridden, he is really gentle and easy to handle {dispite being 16hh and still growing} he has very long whiskers and feathers. I will post some pics when I have worked out how Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
