today is the day

[OnlyWantsOne]

Yesterday my chicken coop arrived and I put it together all by myself pats self on back looks like this

and today drum roll please I'm going to purchase my 3 new hens!!!!!!!

Oh well done you - it's very flash

I am fairly new to hens (January) but should warn you if you dont already know that all the advice about it being addictive is true!!!

What are you getting ?

Wow ... it looks fab. Come back and tell us about your hens please!!

awww, have a problem

was only going to get 2, then the chicken man said I should get three, as a trio works best.... then he was mean to this little brown hen, so I bought her too

Maud, Edith, Muriel and Marjory are settling in just fine - but I will now need to find some where to put my chicken coop that I can make a secure run for them as this house is not big enough for four hens.

Not at POL yet, he thinks in a couple of weeks, they like the cress that DD and I grew for their arrival

I have 3 and am soon to get 2 more - they say odd numbers are better.

Mine are Aud, Maud and Mabel

What sort are they?

ones brown

ones a sussex star (but shes just cream all over) and the other two are well, one is sort of specley, the other is kinda black and white

they're a bit skinny, hope they fatten up

I want hens!!

Oh, well done for buying the other one. Have heard about odd numbers, but why? I'd planned on 3 but am now thinking 4 as I want a Bluebell too!

Odd numbers is to do with the pecking order I think. So if there is a top dog (hen obviously) the others are likely to pair up

Ive put photos on my profile

Aaah. Thanks for that explanation Florence.

They're gorgeous Only ... look so cosy in their new home! Enjoy!

They are very lovely.

I want one that lays white eggs

LOL!
