Just gotta share this with you …

[Loving my girls]

OMG I am SOOO excited

I have just ordered two more girls

Can’t sit still

I’ve attached photos, a cream crested legbar (Aster) and a Suedoise (Rose)

Hubby has banned me from talking about chickens until I pick them up so I am venting my excitement here

I have lost two of my old ladies this year (RIP Ruby, RIP Dylis) so these two will replace them. Due to confusing hubby with chicken math I will also be getting a gauloise and a maran at Easter next year

SO SO SO SO EXCITED

While I am not familiar with some of the anticipated breeds, I applaud you for adding more chickens!!

Congrats on your soon to be new additions! Adding new birds is always egg-citing!!

Congratulations! Enjoy the anticipation. I have a Cream Legbar and she is quite delightful.

How long do you have to wait for them until they arrive? Are they POL or younger?

Oh it is isn’t it

I’ve even spread some of my ‘new baby hen dust’ on hubby and he has been preparing the Baby House.

We have a plastic child’s play house which has a perch set up inside. It gets put outside the big girlz coop within a little run.
The run has a little access area for me to get in and sit with them so they get used to me.

I can read my book out loud so they know my voice and I feed them, eventually by hand on my knee. We get to know each other really well and by the end of the two weeks of their incarceration I can pick them up, turn them upside down and give them a thorough check over without as much as a wiggle from them.

OMG I love hens
