Wish us all luck today
just went down to the chickens and one of the new girls
was out walking around wil the others i have put her back with the other new girls when i get back from walking the dogs i will mix the lot and see what happens "The trouble with quotes over the Internet is that you never know if they are genuine." -- Abraham Lincoln
Howz them there girls today Dave?
My sister printed me some photo's of the little disabled chook last night, she is gorgeous, top chook too she's first out in the mornings & shoves all the others away from the food & is very bold, that's why she hasn't a feather missing, she's a feisty little madam I'll post some pic's when she sends them Cheers
mel x i let them mix as from lunchtime
a couple of standoffs a couple of small rows its mainly the one in the pics (smallest bird) she is having a pop at all the new girls even though she is the smallest all the new girls are at least 2-3" taller what is it with small peaple always attitude problems!! i had 6 eggs from the 8 new girls yesterday all in the nest box last night when i came home from work i went and checked the new arrivels they were all roosting but all over the place not one on the roosting rack so i put them all onto it with the old girls i think i have been quite lucky all the new girls are in good condition and they have settled down very quickly they are even eating pelletts and mixed corn that i mixed in with the mash the only problem is their eggs are huge and that might make the old girls feel bad how was the gig last night i am now going back to bed so i will read the review later "The trouble with quotes over the Internet is that you never know if they are genuine." -- Abraham Lincoln
Gig was fab thanks, so fab in fact I've got huge hangover & I've had to bunk off work, sshh it's a secret
I waved off another 6 chooks yesterday who my friend boarded over night, they've gone to a lovely lady in Northampton. Saturdays girls have gone to live all over the place & eggs, blimey they've all been doing stacks of eggs. I've got some pic's to post in a bit, when I can get myself together Cheers

Awwwww bless yer big heart Mel - 200 chucks eh? Lucky little girls.
Well done you. A huge hug to you (hee hee) on behalf of everyone you've saved. Your girlies do look quite helthy Dave. I wonder whether its to do with how they are fed. the ones get stuck the back of the cages don't always stand such a good chance maybe... Chucky Egg
