They've been out again this afternoon for a while and enjoyed a longer adventure. Mum very protective which is good Back to top summayah Joined: 14 Apr 2005 Posts: 4289 Location: luton Posted: Thu Apr 28, 2005 7:13 pm    Post subject: that's lovely, the ideal way to spend the afternoon, sat/lay on a lounger having a nice glass of milk and watching the chicks and their mum do their thing Back to top NannyP Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 11319 Location: 86310 Nr St Savin Posted: Thu Apr 28, 2005 7:15 pm    Post subject: Well, yes Summayah, not sure I was relaxed though, although she really doesn't need me and as they grow I will relax more. I just wish I could pick them up more, but they go running off screaming to Mum when I try to. Now if they'd been Incubator chicks, I'd be their Mum!

Gave mine a couple of worms tonight, you should have seen them go mad for them, although, I think knobby ate them all in the end as he's faster at moving Back to top Knobby Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 6707 Location: North Warwickshire Posted: Thu Apr 28, 2005 10:11 pm    Post subject: Yum Yum....>>Worms !!!!

" The Log is a 400 year old oak lintel, removed from the front of our cottage recently. I thought it'd be nice for the girls to sit and take an early afternoon nap in the sun. It fascinates me to know that it has been in the wall of our home for 400 years and some people suggest that the oak beams and lintels in these old places are from wood taken from ships!! So, I have no idea how old it is, it could be 800 years old if you include it's time as a live piece of tree A little of topic Back to top Knobby Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 6707 Location: North Warwickshire Posted: Fri Apr 29, 2005 7:41 am    Post subject: Nice smileee NannyP...that should come in VERY useful !

I have let mine out in the front garden but I'm not sure wether or not to allow any of the other hens to be about or when to mix them Regards Mandy Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         The Poultry Keeper Forum Index -> Eggs and Growers All times are GMT + 1 Hour Goto page Previous  1, 2, 3, 4  Next Page 2 of 4 Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
