Title: Happy and settled already !
Post by: HappyHippy on March 22, 2010, 01:57:17 pm

Well my two wee hens seem totally unphased by their move. We've had eggs every morning since they arrived on Saturday night. They're happily scratching around, going nuts for left over mash and having a rare old time. I would post a photo, but the OH has 'mislaid' the camera  ::)
Happy days  ;D ;D ;D

Well done!!

Its a fantastic feeling.  We got our first chooks on friday, we got 10 in total and have been so pleased with what our ladies have produced too.

We have had around 16 eggs over the weekend and this morning.

That reminds me I must go out and lock them down!! doh - got to get used to that little routine!!
