Shirl Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Well I picked up 3 ex batts today. One is quite small and thus quite oven ready bless. I got quite emotional when I saw her We didn't get home until almost dark so I didn't have time for pics but will get some tomorrow. I popped inside to take my LO in and went back out and one had laid me an egg! How about that for a Thank You. We can't decide on names so any suggestions would be great.

Guest Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 supercalifragalistic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! can't wait to see 'em and well done you!!!!!!! as for names, take your inspiration from a hobby or something you love, favourate bands, favourate songs etc you can see i took my inspiration from my hobby I almost used Beatles songs for inspiration, being a Liverpool Lass but the poetry won in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Congratulations. Someone I know vaguely has three ex batts called Duracell, Eveready and Nicad (Nickel Cadmium). Her witty husband is a science teacher and suggested the names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Just beware of letting your children choose the names then - or you end up with names from the Fimbles or Teletubbies! (although actually some of those are quite good for chook names! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenlass Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Aww I bet tomorrow when you see them you will have some names spring to mind. Good with them....I love my 3 ex batts to bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Good for you Shirl - well done! You will be a great chicken mummy. Take care to keep the little one warm if she is featherless as the battery farms are quite hot esp compared with the outside temperatures we are getting now. Feed them up on lots of layers porridge with poultry spice, grit and whatever other goodies you can find to chuck in there - they will love it! Cant wait to see the photos!

Shirl Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 Bambino as in Meo ? No thanks poor conatainment and very cheap We've gone altogether better quality and have gone for Bimble, Bumble and Bamboozle. I've taken some pics just trying to upload them. Not easy when 2 teenagers are online gaming at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomaxsmith Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Bambino as in Meo ? No thanks poor conatainment and very cheap I couldn't think of another nappy other than the ones you and I had come up with! Are you naming your chooks the nappy names - cool!! I loved the bumbles - very cute. My boys were out of nappies at 2 so I've got a load in the loft taking up space but no one seems to want second hand cloth nappies at the moment and they cost too much to give away!

Jo Yes my new chooks now have nappy names and earier the OH referred to them a sthe nappy chooks . I find cloth nappies still sell well. I just sold my Bimbles really quickly.
