BeckyBoo Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Mine are on the patio table eating my fuschias that I put there to stop them eating them. I now have three pots with three twigs each in them. And 7 happy chickens. (that I swear are smiling at me! ) Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJuff Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 (edited) One of mine is pacing up and down along the netting, the other two are bottoms up rustling about under the laurel hedge and the two newbies are eating corn from another corner of the garden.

susiepoos Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I have just finished cleaning out their house - all scubbed, fresh red mite powder down in all the nooks and crannies, fresh nesting boxes and clean newspaper and straw throughout. It must be like getting into bed with fresh sheets- bliss!!!! They've all legged into the house and now there's fresh straw flying everywhere No doubt it will all need tidying up again tomorrow I'm going to get into hot bath now with a large glass of white wine -OH is looking over my shoulder as I write this so I think he's just got the message - yup! he has - well trained you see just like my chickens - I wish!!!! definitely not like the children Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Mine are all heads down, fluffy knicks in the air, slurping their porridge supper! And I'm supposed to be tidying up the mess they've left in the garden ready for a BBQ with friends tomorrow What the heck - they won't notice a bit of chicken poo will they?

The Pearsons Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I'm not sure as I am still at work but I'm going home any minute and will do the cube cleaning thing and if DH is home move the cube and run... I'll probably have to boot Toast out of the nesting box though..... Helen in Hume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farrowy Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Not sure as I'm at work - it's my 2nd full day in the office since the girls arrived last week. Really hope they are OK. Looking forward to getting home tonight and checking on them!! Hope they've been OK. Could do with a chook-cam in the run. (can't believe I just said that as only half joking - ha ha ha!!)

BeckyBoo Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 Mine are sulking as we put them back in before we went out, now we're back and they're having to stay in for the evening. Never mind, they'll shortly be dining on left over pasta and sweetcorn, see if that cheers them up. Speckles still being a broody, moody chicken, growling, fluffing up and hogging the nest, takes after me!! Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
