Some of these suggestions are good. I like Charlie but my girlfriend doesn't because it reminds her of someone from her work. She likes Nutmeg but I'm not sure.

I'm still undecided - any more suggestions would be appreciated!

I have a goldline, an amber and a bluebelle and they are all awesome. The bluebelle is a bit stressy and doesn't like to be touched but I don't know if that is the breed or just my one. The amber is really docile and the goldline is my favourite - she is completely nuts and quite friendly. At the mo...

If she is anything like my brown chook (see picture of Dolly, right) then I would call her the nutter!! Heh heh - she is definitely the most stupid chicken I have met. She is mad and I often have to help her find her way back into the run at night. Also I must admit that I really don't like the nam...

Please help me to name my chicken! I am not very good at choosing names and I cannot keep referring to her as 'the brown one'. brown_1.jpg brown_2.jpg brown_3.jpg So far the names I have had suggested are: Browny (by my girlfriend - I think this name is silly), Miranda (by my Mum), Rusty, Ginger The...

At least you have hens ready to put in! Mine will stand empty for another 10 days until I collect the girls a week on Saturday! Ooo that is going to be a long 10 days! I went to pick up my hens about 10 minutes after my coop+run arrived! I had to keep the girls in boxes for 20 minutes whilst I put ...

I got this one: http://www.wood-crafts.co.uk/the-marham-poultry-house-131-p.asp I am really pleased with it - it is sturdy and easy to clean. I also bought a run from that site too, and then another extension to the run. I now have a 4 meter long run for my 3 girls - originally it was 2 meters (plus...

My fence is only 3 or 4 feet high and I haven't had an escape yet. Mind you there are bushes on the other side of the fence so maybe that haven't realised there is any where to go beyond the fence. I have a goldline too and she is by far the stupidest chicken of the three. She is friendly though and...

...but one of my girls just laid an egg! It's pretty dirty and small - weighed in at 36.96 grams.

10 guesses what I'm having for breakfast tomorrow!

I watched mine take a dust bath the other day and it was pretty cool - they were making a right mess in the flower bed but it's hard to care when they look like they are enjoying themselves so much! Your garden looks pretty cool - lots of plants for your girls to explore. My garden isn't very well e...

I should probably add - I didn't actually build the extension myself. I ordered 3 run panels from the site where I bought my run and attached them on with some pieces of wood.

I found my first cache yesterday - it was pretty exciting. It was hidden in some bushes but there were people around so I had to try hard to stay out of site. It felt like I was doing something I shouldn't and I got pretty excited when I found the box. I took a geocoin out of it which I am going to ...

This morning my girlfriend let the chickens out the a similar thing happened t other last time - the other girls all came straight out and Daisy was lagging behind. She is standing around all hunched up again whilst the others are quite active. There were also some really dodgy looking poos on the r...

We look forward to the 'Extended my Run even more' post in a few weeks time.

You see, that's what happens !!

Good on you,

After having my girls for less than 3 weeks I have decided to upgrade their living area!
