Installing Indoor Cat Tree

[starboyhull]

We made the decision to let them out of the run today......

 

Attached is a pic for you all.......I thought it would be way more traumatising for us that it is lol, they seem quite happy pecking around and nothing flying over head is bothering them......The firestation tannoy made them flap a little but thats about all

 

 

 

Its very exciting letting them freerange for the first time. We also decided on names, Betty, Hilder and Wilhelmina......

awwwww, how cute! what breed are they?

[Couperwife]

they look very chilled and happy.

how long will the lawn stay like that for if they are let out?

[starboyhull]

They are Black rocks from the Mirfield hatchery in Scotland, originally.....We got them from One Stop Poultry shop in Belton, near Grantham......

 

The people there were really good, unfotunately due to the awful weather conditions when we got them they had picked 3 out for us, cant wait to go again to see what others they have, was a shame really cos their place looks stunning......

I have just been watching them scratching at my grass, its took onths to get it right and I bet in a few weeks it will be back to how it used to look lol

 

Well as long as they are happy then the grass will recover in time.......I hope

we haven't let ours free range yet.

couperman is terrified that they will go into next doors beautifully manicured garden and destroy it like a whirlwind

I dont mind , I'd love them to traumatise next doors killer leopard that miaws.

The house next door to us has a lovely garden I really hope they cant get in their garden....Although I would have to laugh to myself if they got on their veg patch......Or is that just wicked hehe

 

Ours are now back in the run, they seem quite happy just going in and out, we will see what they are like when thay are a little more confident

Your grass is just too long and lush - that won't last long, you had better keep the photo to remind you how nice it was.

Lovely picture. I love the brown/black look of these chooks.

Are the Miss Pepperpots the same hybrid as Black rocks???

 

They do have really nice colours, the one on the left of the picture has a lot of green o her when the sun shines, looks totally different in different light......

[Hen Watch]

Not sure if they are the same. I'm sure someone will be along soon on the forum to advise.

 

My 2 Miss Pepperpots came from Omlet. Here is Henrietta (bornw/black) and Nigella who is no longer with us (she was almost completely black and had green tinges in a certain light).
