My OH reckons the Miss Pepperpots are real ladies very dignified and should have a string of pearls and the Gingers are chavs into everything and gossips always chatting away.

Gelbel Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 My OH reckons the Miss Pepperpots are real ladies very dignified and should have a string of pearls and the Gingers are chavs into everything and gossips always chatting away. That is just so true! With the posh girls being intelligent and minding their own business and the chavs as thick as two short planks and always getting into trouble.

Diamond egg gal Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Thank you everyone. We have had such a lovely first day and only went indoors when the rain hit and even then I was perched at the kitchen island watching them through the window. I have a feeling this love affair is going to last forever. The chooks have had a couple of treats late this afternoon and we are just now wondering if and when they might want to retire into their eglu! (It's bit like a watched kettle ) Now I've worked out the photo thing on the forum I will try not to bore you all too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henslaved Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Congratulations on your cute girls the Gingers are chavs into everything and gossips always chatting away. Bet they can't wait to get on those monkey bars and see what the neighbours are up to . the chavs as thick as two short planks and always getting into trouble. I can see the two Gingers plotting already, Ginger 1: "I'll pretend to be eating, while you look for a way out" Ginger 2: "Hmmmm, ok " she says eyeing up the run door. Miss Pepperpot tuts and walks away in disgust. Enjoy your girls . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond egg gal Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Well done for getting your lovely ladies, you wont regret it! Did they put themselves to bed like good girls ? They didn't do so well going to bed on the first night. Dolly had been in and out of the eglu at dusk. It was almost like she was saying to the two "come on, follow me, its bedtime". However the chavs were like "what?????" So we took action. Picture it…..Pitch black in the garden (about 8:40pm) me standing outside in the pouring rain under an umbrella shining a torch into the eglu, whilst my OH tried to shoo the girls up the run with a broom. Needless to say Dolly flew at the broom telling my OH off, whilst the chavs weren't too sure what the hell was going on My eldest offered to climb into the run with all the poo to try a bit of female persuasion. However I decided that was definitely not an option. So I herded my family indoors and said right lets leave them too it. So after another 20 mins all the girls had headed into the eglu so I raced out to shut the door but then one of the chavs decided to come out for a chat After another 5 mins they were all in so I dove across the garden like a lunatic through the rain and triumphantly shut the door Last night it was a totally different story, about 8pm Dolly lead the chavs in and my OH calmly walked across the garden and shut the door! He came indoors with a smug look on his face as if to say 'that's the way you do it' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekymonkey68 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Brilliant that's sooo funny! I got my girls in Feb and I followed all the instructions for bedtime which came with the cube setting up instructions ie. putting a torch in the cube so when it got dark they'd know where to go and it was like magic when it got to dusk and they all jumped up the ladder into the cube...I have to say that it still has me mesmerised at dusk. Sounds like Miss Pepperpot is number one chicken already which is fantastic news as you'll not have any pecking order issues with a bit of luck. So happy for you, the first couple of weeks are all a bit of a whirlwind of excitement and uncertainty, its great that the whole family are all enjoying the chooks.

Luvachicken Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Love your garden and the pictures of your new girls. Will they get to play in that lovely tree house ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond egg gal Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 I'm pretty confident that I'm going to come into the garden when we let them FR and see one of them strutting around the platform of the tree house!! I'm just hoping that they don't use it as a launch pad into our neighbours garden! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
