Hi Mrs P, I open ours with paint then select "image", then "resize/skew", change dimensions to 25% then save upload it. Sounds complicated but it really isn't I promise!!

[mrs.ploppy]

I will have to have someone round to show me I think as my photos are all auto downloaded to a HP photo software programme.  Cant even figure out how to save to disk yet.  Several people have tried but I need another bit of s-ware to burn.  Bit of a con but thats HP for you.  Hardly know anything about computers and what all the terminology means.  Qualified typist but not computer savi I'm affraid.

It can be confusing- I'm hopeless and rely on HTB to show me how to work it- BUT I did manage to resize the pics in a far less complicated way than his so I was pleased (for once!)

We picked up our first chickens today, 3 Light Sussex:



From the top:
Madame Poulet
Chickpea
Lady Marmalade

Bottoms up:



And the rare 2 headed variety:



We are completely new to keeping chickens and are not sure who is the more nervous, us or them

[SnooziSuzi]

LOL!  I love the 2-headed chookie!

Looks like Mme Poulet will be laying you an egg any day too - lucky you!

[Foxy]

ummm are they all the same age? There is one that looks like it might be a boy......??

Madame Poulet is around 5 weeks older than the other two, I let them out just after 6 this morning and she wasn't making any crowing noises, so fingers crossed, she is a she. 
I will hopefully not have to wait too long to find out one way or the other as(so we have been told), she is at point of lay and the others need 2-3 weeks.

Lovely chookies. Fertilised eggies keep better anyway dont they Foxy I would agree that there is defo a cockerel in there

[Wheelchair Gardener]

We think Madame Poulet is a she after all, we were putting the girls to bed tonight and we found this:



She has been a bit "anxious" all day, in and out of the coop, checking out places, but it was left on the grass in the run for us, we are assuming it was her as the others aren't old enough to lay yet (we think).
I can't wait for breakfast tomorrow, admittedly one egg won't go for between me, the missus and 2 kids but I'm sure it will be the best I have ever tasted
