Mar1a Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Hi everyone. I have spent a couple of weeks reading through this forum and decided to sign up I have five lovely, lovely girls- a bluebell, light sussex, bovan nera, speckeldy and a ranger. All are about 22 weeks old except the ranger, who I estimate to be about 19 weeks. My speckeldy started laying on Monday last week, my bovan today and my light sussex and bluebell are not far off, having been crouching for a few days now. I have a wooden, lockable house for them with a 4m x 4m run. I can't keep them at home so I keep them at my allotment. I go there at least twice a day, and while I'm off work, spend quite a large part of the day there with them. I am amazed at how fun they are just to watch! I'd like to say thanks for all the info you've all given me, without realising! I look forward to joining in properly very soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mar1a Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 I can reply to posts but not post a new topic I sent an email to Tom but haven't had a reply I have got the marriages layer pellets with flubenvet added. Worming process starts this weekend. My god, I swear the girls are going to hate me with a passion they love, love, love their treats and a whole week without them will have them breaking out of their run, finding my house and pecking me to death in my bed No greens, no corn, no grapes. I'll be public enemy number one How do you guys cope with worming week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PixieDust Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Mine were wormed last week and they hated it. Winnie even ran from me which is so unusual as she just stands to be waited to be picked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
