rachyerbs Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Hello everyone! I thought it was about time I posted on the forum, I've been coming here for about a year looking for info from you helpful lot. It would be rude for me not to share pics of my girls! We originally started off with 3 girls in a Go, but sadly one was being bullied so she had to retire with some relatives in Cornwall, and the other 2 later we lost in a fox attack. As so often happens with chicken keeping, I developed morehens and we now have 5 chickens of various shapes and sizes, and 2 3 week old chicks. We still have a lot to learn about chooks, and this forum has been an absolute mine of information! Maybe one day I will be able to pass on some knowledge of my own! Right, now I am off to the chicks/hatching section to play "guess if it's a boy or a girl"!! Yerbs. PS as soon as I have worked out how to get my pics from Facebook to here, I will post them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Welcome, and about time You've already learnt the ups and downs then, what a shame you lost your first girls. I think you have to post a few times before you put pictures up, but now you've started that won't take long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs_B Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Welcome to the forums! This place is fab isn't it? Enjoy your chicks - I look forward to finding out if you have hens and/or cockerels! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachyerbs Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Thanks guys! yes, it's definitely been an adventure being a chicken owner. Very rewarding, but very hard work sometimes! I have tried uploading some pics in the hatching forum, but I guess I am too premature, will have to try again after a few more postings! Altho, now I can see smilies to my right, so maybe I can post pics now...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roselady Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Hello What a cute picture! I skulked around here for awhile too before I posted. Know I ask frequent (dimwit) questions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachyerbs Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Hi Roselady, well I have been learning a lot from other people posting dimwit questions, so post away!! I am seriously struggling with photos at the moment, should probably try doing it when I am less tired. The chickens chattering woke me at 5.30 this morning, the little monkeys!!

Mrs_B Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Great photo! Love the chick's heads peeping through the hen's feathers x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachyerbs Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Thanks Mrs_B I don't think it'll be long before they are waaaay too big to be snuggling under mum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roselady Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Hi Yerbs I also can't work out how to post pics! I love their chattering - ours are starting to cluck now as oppose to peeping all the time, but they still peep alot. Followed me all over the garden this morning in the pouring rain! Had to frogmarch them back into their run before work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 What a shame, the photo has gone..... No such thing as a stupid question; that's how we learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachyerbs Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 I think maybe they were too big, would someone have taken them down? I am at work at the mo, maybe I can put up a link to my photobucket a/c and then everyone can have a nose at all the chooks (past and present) at their leisure...

The Dogmother Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 It looks as if they have been deleted from your photobucket account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
