What "make" of chook are you getting and are you getting a cockerel as well? How many are you getting? Cant wait to see the video!

[john and helen]

more than likely lohmans as they where saved from going to the supermarket... only getting 4 until we get the smallholding, no cockerel...as we have close neighbours,

but we have promised ourselves some rear breeds when we do get the SH and yes..the odd cockerel,

I bet you will sit listening to them talk, I know I  did!!! They do talk you know

[john and helen]

you don't have to convince me HGL.... i have had many a conversation
with my old chooks .... and when helen use to do the weeding..dalilah the duck would be between her feet, waiting for the worms...there use to be some strange conversations going on then

  , I love the sound of chattering hens......

[john and helen]

only 1/2 an hour before i leave  you would think at the age of 51 i wouldn't be getting excited...this is better than christmas 
anyway, its only 8 miles away..right near my shooting ground, well 1/2 a mile away.. from the ground..

its going to be so nice to have some chooks around again..... and real eggs

[happygolucky]

  , have fun, you may well end up with an egg on the journey too!!

[john and helen]

well got them home...its a bit drizzly to get the camera out ..poor little things look like they have come from a concentration camp.... ive seen more feathers on a duster.... it was weird watching them walk on grass for the 1st time ... but they soon got the taste for it  they have explored the house and one is sitting on the nest box already.... some real Love care and attention needed here... the guy gave me 5 for the price of 4 £20 which i thought was superb, as he often rescues as many as he can ...they have only been out for a few days .....

i got one girl who looks a little tired, i guess she may be a little stressed, ile keep my eye on her.... off to get some tonic later..i always found that picked them up ...

anyway... ile get some video later ...

lovely to have chooks again
