Glad it's going well Buffie - can't wait for the next installment!

[Mrs Frugal]

That's fab, Buffie! Congratulations and glad you had such a good birthday!

[Louise]

I know you can't tell what you saw but can you whisper what colour it was

 

Glad you had such a good day Buffie

[Popcorn]

 

Good thinking there Louise!!

[Louise]

I even emailed James and tagged it on as a ps and he tactfully ignored it

[The Dogmother]

WELL....

 

What's going on?

 

Which chooks have you got?

 

Do tell.....

 

(we had our first blue egg today - Dolly was telling the whole neighbourhood when I went back at lunchtime )

[Mel (& Paul)]

Well done that chook!

We got two blue eggs today and two white (only two brown though )

[The Dogmother]

I'd love a white egg layer.......*sighs wistfully*

 

Mel, did you see the RED eglu for sale? I was shouting for you down at the bottom of the forum - it's in your area too..... (red eglu)(red eglu)(red eglu)

[Mel (& Paul)]

ooohh oooh oooh just over there to have a look

[buffie]

I'm Back!!!

 

Sorry so busy with friends staying last night and off to collect.......

 

Buff Pekin now called hollie!

 

Only one as pearl recommended one with one and add 2 at a later date if i want to! Just to keep stress down for Lottie.

 

Hollie is very cute and had a great trip round pearls place seeing so many lovely birds. Mikey wanted a couple but non for sale, never mind.

 

So Buffs got a Buff!!

 

Clare I've emailed you!!!!!!!!!

 

I'll let you know how the intro is going tomorrow in the sticky.

That's terrific, Buffie...welcome Hollie! Hope they settle together really well for you.

[Cate in NZ]

Great news Buffie, I'll watch your intros sticky with interest. Hollie sounds lovely, I hope she and Lottie settle own together well.

[buffie]

Thanks Sheila and kateA. Just checked and they are snuggled up, really think this is a good match. They need to cuddle in the cold!

[Lesley]

Hope it all goes well Buffie

[Mel (& Paul)]

I've already said Hi to Hollie on two other threads, but hey, its 6am. I have nothing better to do (other than work ) so Welcome Hollie

[Cinnamon]

Thats really good news Buffy.

They sound like a good match & I am looking forward to seeing some piccys

[buffie]

Thanks she is settling in well, little pecks from Lottie (she has a short memory). Noticed that hollie is sneezing today and abit sleepy at times but given her aconite as I wonder if it's a shock type of thing She is eating though and no nasal discharge

[The Dogmother]

One or other of my chooks is sneezing at the moment - they've got runny noses from the cold

 

Glad to hear that she is settling in well.

[buffie]

Ah that's good to know, it's very cold poor things. Hollie is all puffed up!

[The Dogmother]

Mine all look like little pom poms at the moment! Phil just called to say that he was putting the chooks away, and that Dolly had managed to get her superb hairdo wet and was cold and bedraggled - what should he do about it. He has gone to get my hair dryer for her.

 

I have had to rig up temporary water facilities for the newbies, and Dolly keeps knocking it over herself

 

Luckily clare* has been to Omlet to get supplies, and will be bringing them over tomorrow - I have ordered a new 'glug' water container. I do wonder whether she will be able to use it hough, what with her bouffant hair

[Cate in NZ]

I've been looking at the "Glug" too Clare, very tempted to buy one. Does it always come with the Grub container though, because I really don't need one of those? Do let me know if your girls are able to use it well please, as I'm after another water container, and was poised to order a conventional feeder from one of the online poultry suppliers, but if the Glug works well it'd look better in my eglus than a conventional one. And I could then justify the p&p expense by ordering a mat at the same time

[The Dogmother]

They come seperately Kate - there was a link from the last newsletter, and you can get them on their own.

 

I'll let you knwo how I get on with it.
