Title: We have some new girls! NOW WITH PICS!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: min200 on May 03, 2010, 11:51: After the devestation of the other day when Mr Fox had away with our old ladies I spent the day creating a mini fort knox.

After having chooks around the place seemed so empty without them :(

So the hunt began in earnest and we have just picked up 4 warrens 12 weeks old and are collecting another 3 exbatts this afternoon :D

They can all be introduced to their new coop at the same time but already its great having some chooks back again!

I think im turning into a right softie ??? ??? :lol: :lol: :lol:

And when they got back from shopping the'd found Mr Fox had paid a visit :( 8 chooks to 1 chook in a matter of a few minutes. I feel so sorry for the last chook left :( grats anywho despite the bad news too :)
