I'm missing my chooks :(
« on: May 27, 2011, 17:10 »
My chicks are all between 7 and 10 weeks old now, and at the time when you can really see them developing into proper chickens, rahter than chicks.

I'm in argentina for 5 weeks with work, and I can't believe how much I'm missing them... not just them, but actually all of the work associated with keeping chooks too!

I know I had a few boys amongst them, and I only hope that they stay quiet until I get back... I don't think my poor mum could cope if they all started crowing together!

I just wonder how many boys I come home to... some I was having doubts about, especially the dottes and brahmas, as I find it harder to judge rose and pea combs!

They will have grown tremendously by the time you get back.  Can you get your mum to e-mail you pictures of them as they develop?  I think I would miss mine too  :)

I only went away for three days and really missed my chickens.  I'm pleased to say they seemed to miss me too and have been coming to the back steps for a chat regularly since I got home.  :)
