The Dogmother Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Brillliant news Lesley, I hope that the newbies settle in well, and that the pink Eglu fits in well too. Can't wait to see your chicks when you get them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Congratulations on the Lesley, I'm quite envious Lucky Beryl & Rita having such a fabulous new home though, and good luck to Liz with the move to NZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizC Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Lesley, glad you Carl, Beryl and Rita got home safely. Maia took quite a while to stop crying, Ellis bravely hid hers, and I shed mine whilst washing my (pink) wellies! I am happy knowing that they will be living splendidly in Eglu Towers! So THANKYOU Lesley for rehoming the girls, and THANKYOU everyone else for your kind words and thoughts. I will stay in touch while still in the UK via this forum, don't know why on earth I didn't do it sooner, and when we get settled, will post pictures of future hens. Do they send Eglu's to NZ? May be a business opportunity is lurking for my husband...! Thanks again, Liz, Neil, Ellis, Maia and Scarlett (With empty garden ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clare* Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I am so pleased Lesley. I don't feel like a fruit cake now telling Liz that there was interest on the forum about the Eglu and how she must come and visit us I do like happy endings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 This is a very bad photo of the two gorgeous girls on arrival last evening. (My camera is playing up and I can't see the icons it is showing me so I ignore them ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 They are lovely girls. Hope they've settled in nicely with all your others. You've nearly got a chicken football team . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Here we are - first thing this morning. Please note our feeder doesn't match our house Inside the Eglu you can see the consequences of eating too many worms We were helping Neil to dig the garden before being squashed into a box for our journey here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Very pretty girlies and welcome to chicken heaven. Harrie and Charlie will get together with you for a bowl of porridge! BBX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Mmmmm, porridge! Haven't Beryl and Rita got amazing markings? I wasn't expecting a to look like that. The man who delivered told Liz she was quite unusual. Liz's choice of names were Hermione and Persephone - I'm very tempted - but I think Beryl and Rita sounds just right. Still thinking about it The two top hens - Beryl and Tallulah have had a stand-off this morning, through the wire netting. It only took them about 5 mins of walking and looking and 'bok bok bokking' to sort out that each was a top hen. Tallulah has always been our biggest hen but Beryl is a good match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 They are really lovely Lesley, and so unusual too. I hope that they fit in well and that the bokking is soon sorted out What a lovely happy ending to a sad story. Liz, I hope that you continue to keeep in touch via the forum, and that your new life is as fab as it sounds Isn't htis forum fab; where else would you be able to have your hens adopted so satisfactorily and still be able to see them regularly from thousands of miles away?

Lesley Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I've just noticed that Penny's Isa Browns look like Rita - perhaps Rita isn't a Gingernut at all? Penny's Isa Browns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
