Deliquent Chicken Free to (any) Home. . .

[NutterlyUts]

Today was Eglu day.

This is it all up, and ready to go
run
inside the house

As we started to move everyone over, Britney decided that moving house, meant moving into the neighbours garden. She ended up on our dividing wall, then on the roof above our kitchen, before flapping into next door's garden. (Thankfully she picked the neighbours without the dog..) I, looking VERY fetching in my muddy wellies, tore through the house, and rang the bell of next door, and got no response. I ended up just barging my way into their garden, and played chase the chicken for 20mins before she finally flapped her way back into our garden, where Dad was able to corral her into the eglu run!!

Britney FINALLY in the run!!

After that, the other 3 were shooed into a catbox, and transfered that way, and not the carried way i'd anticipated.

Here are a couple (ok, a lot!) pics of them all in their new house. I have discovered if I make kissy noises, the silkies finally look at the camera for some decent head pics. I have a feeling the black one is a slow developing boy

That is gorgeous - I have just been stalking a run that colour on ebay. Decided not to bid at last minute but wish I had now! Ah well, will get looking again after Christmas.

The red is the nicest color

If you're on a budget, getting a house and making a run works out cheaper - the house is £260 without a run I think, and you can get aviary panels for £15 each on ebay

nutterly, due to blind luck rather than intention i have discovered that if wanting to move chooks from one abode to another, just after dark is a good time to do it (with a torch obv) they just sit there and let you take them, even if they open their eyes, they dont seem to properly wake up.
