Did you decide what flavours you're having ?

And names ?

Can see you camping out in the car as they turn up to unlock ! :lol:

Enjoy the experience and try to take in what they tell you. Have a practice at picking them up if you can.

hubby will take it all in, ill be so excited that some will go in and the rest over my head. hes good like that for when i had my treatment, i listened to the worst news bits and he always listened to the positive, hes my anchor!
this feels so special as its kind of why we moved and finally weve got there, difficult to explain, but quite emotional, its been a long, difficult learning journey, but i would never go back to how we were b4.

Know exactly what you mean. It's symbolic as well as the fun and practical elements.

Julie was the same. I was too busy trying to finish the run to get excited at the time.  :)

Made up for it since.  :roll:

To quote Monty Python...."beautiful plumage"

They are lovely Chicky. Looks like you'll be busy doing nothing for a while, just enjoying them.

Very pleased for you all.  :D

So pleased for you chickchick, now, what are they? The darker brown looks like my Red Dorking, am intrigued about the brown/grey one & what colour eggies please?
Enjoy...........

Post by: chickchick on July 20, 2008, 21:25

the brown one is a ISA brown, the grey one is a belle blue/haze and the darker one is a bovan nera!  the lovely grey one is my one shes called ruby, as she has some red markings on her neck!
brown is amber and bovan nera is henrietta, we are definately going to get 3 more after our holidays!
dont think my mum whos chicken/veg/hanging basket/house sitting could cope with any more than 3!! will have to bring her back loads of wine for her troubles!!!
