Cheeky Chooky Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Well I did my sums and managed to squeeze in one more WIR Extension Kit I'm so pleased with my setup Of course, with an Extension Kit comes new girls Here are my final additions to my little Banty Flock...2 gorgeous Orpington Bantams I'm amazed at how quickly bantams settle compared to hybrids I've had in the past and I'm so proud of my girls I've got to get my thinking cap on with regard to names for the new girls Nothing springs to mind yet...but I think of chocolate every time I look at them!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 What a lovely setup . The Omlet WIR certainly blends into a garden well - wooden WIRs are fab but they aren't exactly invisible . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexsampson Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Wow That looks like chicken heaven. I only dream of having a set up like that ...awesome, well done!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superkitty Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 What a fabulous setup! Very jealous, have just gone off to drool over/check prices of the WIRs and start secretly plotting how to get agreement to one from DH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeky Chooky Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Oooh Mum, I love Kit and Kat! and I love Kit Kats! Will have a good think about that one!! Thanks again for the lovely comments guys It is a lovely setup and I wouldn't have it any other way; just wish it wasn't all so expensive Never mind...something happened earlier that money just can't buy...I was in the WIR, crouching down by the door to the Cube Run, just to make sure the newbies got up to bed ok and this little sweetheart jumped up onto my lap for a reassuring cuddle before bed!

scubababe Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 That is a fantastic set-up. Make me really want to get on with my WIR now. As for names.....me likes the Kit & Kat theme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeky Chooky Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 I think Kit and Kat will probably be chosen I've been wondering if I should have Kat as the name of a chicken but realised that it would be quite fitting if it was also short for Katherine...as that was my Nan's name and she passed away a week ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckmum6 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 A great set up, how big is it and how many hens live in it? I ask because I am considering get one for my 11 (4 big girls 7 banties) and am wondering how many extensions I will need. Do you have giraffes in there too, just wonder because in you first photo, there is a grub and glug up ever so high! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adelochick Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Wow your set-up looks great! Lucky chooks. On reading this thread, think kitkat and crunchie make lovely names for your new bantams, they are just scrumptious looking. Not that I'd really want to eat them Just feeling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Looks great! New girls look nice too Do you have giraffes in there too, just wonder because in you first photo, there is a grub and glug up ever so high! I noticed that too :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
