Have only just now turned it on - first time since Friday evening so I've only just got your pm. I really am sorry! Have sent you a pm.

That's given them all something to talk about - I've never heard my lot so vocal! Fefe Speckeldy and Matilda Maran are shaping up to each other through the wire, but all three new girls are tucking into their mash with gusto. My 'office' is just the other side of the chicken run so I can hear their chatter and I can peek out the window to watch them. Will post some pics soon.

I really ought to apologise in advance and also behind ~ I haven't been able to handle the girls for the past 6 months or so because of my disability ~ so they could all be a little flighty. This mornings were worse than the first lot! Back to top George Joined: 14 Apr 2005 Posts: 5661 Location: London Posted: Wed Nov 16, 2005 5:43 pm    Post subject: Oh summayah, I really feel for you. It is no doubt a great comfort knowing they are going to loving homes, but I don't know how you managed. Do look after yourself, we all love you here Back to top NansNankins Joined: 14 Nov 2005 Posts: 27 Location: Michigan Posted: Wed Nov 16, 2005 6:13 pm    Post subject: Wow, I'm new here, but even I have tears in my eyes. What a wonderful group of people you are. I haven't gotten to read all the old posts to get to know you all but my Goodness, you all are amazing. I maybe half way across the world and I may not understand some of your lingo, but, whew, what a wonderful group of people. I'm honored to be a part of this group. Good luck with your surgery summayah, you will be in my prayers for a speedy recovery.

I also heard from Jooles, that she had been able to handle matilda and charlie ~ she made the most noise when I had to put her in a box. Marmalade is a little like a helicopter she flies upwards first. The house is beginning to look a little bare now ~ yet there have only been 5 girls packing their bags. I guess I just might not go in it for a while once it's completely empty.

Good thing is you can keep up to date with them on here and maybe you'll find a way of having them back when you're completely recovered Back to top summayah Joined: 14 Apr 2005 Posts: 4289 Location: luton Posted: Thu Nov 17, 2005 11:36 pm    Post subject: I've told everyone who has been kind enough to give my girls new homes, that I won't take them back. I know just how much this is hurting me and some I've only had for 3 months ~ so I wouldn't want to hurt someone else in the same way. I have another 4 packing their bags as I speak, they're off to Chelmsford tomorrow. Then it will be down to 10 small girls. I think I might get them to go in the small house for the last 2 nights as it's been so cold recently. Do you think they would be too cold in the 8' x 6' shed ~ 4 bantams and 10 pekins, if we have frost again at the nights ?

Hey, watch your hip doing that sort of thing, it really can't be good for it Back to top NannyP Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 11631 Location: 86310 Nr St Savin Posted: Fri Nov 18, 2005 8:34 am    Post subject: Absolutely, don't stamp to hard and spoil your new hip when you get it. I've had Muppet since (I can't remember) and for most of that time, I've known she's Knobby's and I know that when he comes to get her, I'll be fine. I think all those kind people who have fostered your chicks would be gald for you to have them back, however long that takes Back to top LisaLou Joined: 10 Sep 2005 Posts: 109 Location: Herts Posted: Fri Nov 18, 2005 9:01 am    Post subject: NannyP wrote: Absolutely, don't stamp to hard and spoil your new hip when you get it.

I think all those kind people who have fostered your chicks would be gald for you to have them back, however long that takes I think NannyP has got it right! But if it helps, this will be the last time I say it, I don't want to upset you by keeping going on about it. So here it is... If and when you are ready to have Pricsilla and Henrietta back, all you have to do is say... ok?
