pixiewish Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Nerve-wracking drive home but have them here now. Left them in the coop for about 45 mins and have now opened the door to the run although they don't seem to be venturing out yet. Maybe this is why.... As yet nameless!

KarenW Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Aww, so lovely! Will probably take them a while to venture out, it did with ours The last photo makes me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestnutmare Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 They are lovely! It won't take them long to venture out I'm sure. I'm loving the yellow Eglu by the way, my fave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 They look very comfy in there how old are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixiewish Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 They are 6/7 weeks old. They still haven't ventured out, bit worried I'll end up putting them to bed and they won't have eaten or drunk anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestnutmare Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Are they still in there? Open the back of the Eglu, shoo them into the run, close the Eglu door. They'll soon find the food and water and won't be able to hide inside. What shy chickens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvachicken Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Your babies are lovely, and so is your little girl. I have 7 week old babies and am really pleased I got them. Mine haven't been outside yet though - I don't have anything predator proof to put them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
