Dancing Gal Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 My sister already keeps chooks - has done for years. This weekend she went and got 4 more as their remaining 2 chooks are not laying so well these days. Not surprising really as they are an incredible 9 years old. I'm so jealous and just want to get my girls but I have to wait and wait and wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James H Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I felt the same a couple of months ago but without the sisiter already haveing chickens then. I really wanted to get some little bantams but I had to keep stopping myself. I had to save up £350 for my eglu but it was worth waiting because my 20 week old bantams look very happy in it! lucky things, but look at it this way, if I went and bought the bantams when I wanted to get them straight away my perfect little chooks that I have now (well sort of perfect!) wouldnt of even been born yet - aaaaaawww Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Gal Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 Hmm that's what hubbs says to me ' just think he says your girls aren't even laid yet and that I just have to be patient. I think I must be all broody myself - but for hens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Oh Dancing Gal, i know exactly how you feel! I had to wait four weeks for delivery and was desperate to get them sooner. I even considered driving to Omlet HQ and getting them......! I promise, it will be worth the wait! Whereabouts in Hampshire are you?

chelsea Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 We also couldnt wait to get our chickens once we'd placed the order...we were pacing the room and very angry when the courier was a day late! Its well worth the wait though....chickens are FAB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Gal Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 I live near Fareham in Hampshire. I't just come back from Manor Park country farm where I spent a delightful half an hour in the company of their chickens. I wanted to bring them all home they we so lovely. Lots of them came up and talked to me in a chicken kind of way. And some of the cockerels looked so glorious, but they reminded us quick smart why we couldn't have a cock..what a din!! Last night I dreamt I had 20 chooks all different and they had completely taken over my whole garden. Hubbs is now worried that it could happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
