Lovemychooks Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Here are my new ex-batts ! I'm so pleased with them. I went to Wokingham to pick them up and even got to catch the chickens, it was brilliant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xScrunchee Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I would love to get some myself one day. It's lack of space for another Eglu which puts me off. Who knows though-maybe one day. I bet they will get spoilt rotten-and good! They deserve it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xScrunchee Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Actually you are right Martin. It's not a case of being put off at all and of course I could squeeze another Eglu in if I tried . My problem is with having the money to do so right now. It is something that I have been wanting to do for ages though and now I have a bigger run I just might be able to in the spring. Got to sort out these intro's with Rose first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeckyBoo Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 How fantastic, and what a wonderful thing to do. Did you actually go to the farm where they were rescued from then? I'd love some ex-batts, really really really, and now we've borrowed an old ark from a friend 'm really rather hoping they might just let me keep it (it was donated to them second hand years ago) If so, if I'm really nice to OH then just maybe......ooooh, well done you, look forward to hear how they're doing.

I think she got them from Jane in Berkshire. The farmers can be very strict regards who goes into the farm, the farmer we use is very friendly!

Lovemychooks Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 Thanks for all your replies. I'm very happy with them although there is a bit of squabbling going on. I think i'm going to name them Peanut, Noodle, Mabel & Olive, although not sure which one is going to be which Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
