collecting hens on friday - cant wait

Recommended Posts

finished off making the run today (will post some piccies when i have time)

so ordered some chickens from merrydale in whetstone. unfortunatly they didnt have a snowbell (for which my 6 year old son is desperate for a white bird) so i have ordered a merrydale copper black, merrydale blue and possibly a merrydale sweetie.

 

even my oh is well impressed and succumbed to the idea of having chickens, he even suggested getting a couple of bantams too :shock:

 

anyway as i couldn't afford an eglu (you lucky people), i wondered if i bought a glug and grub would it fix onto the side of my wire mesh?

Gosh well done for making your own housing. I would never have got chickens if it hadn't been for omlet.

 

However I did build them a perch the other week-end, the first time I have ever made anything like that. Was so worried it would collapse the first time they got on it, but its still standing :lol:

 

Would love to see your chickens, maybe if its convenient I could pop in some time and meet another chicken lover. Thats if I can cope with the snails pace of traffic round Kibworth at the moment.

 

Good luck

OMG after all the hissing and spitting that my oh has done about keeping chickens, last night he sheepishly asked my if i can locate a Rhode island red for him :shock: as his first chicken as a child (henny penny) was a rhode island.

 

 

 

:roll::roll::roll:

 

 

thats MEN for you!!!!, he'll next claim that he made the coop himself!

 

He'll be telling everyone that the whole thing was his idea next. :roll::lol:

 

As you say...that's men for you!! :lol:
