[LyraSilvertongue]

Hope you all find me.

Going any minute now Lyra!!!!!!

I'm worried though that something will go wrong like they are not open after all

Hopefully see you all later with pictures of our hens!

Did you get them Berrie?
Name one after me

Brilliant idea Berrie. How would your db feel about having a rustic straw twiddler invade his space though

C'mon, c'mon..... do you have chickens yet??

A Maran, a Light Sussex and 3 we're not sure about. Happy hens .

Thems'll be the Ranger, the Swartz and the Blue. Not sure yet if these are real hybrids or made up ones.

I love my hens!

How many did you get? Are they happily tucked up in the hen house? Have you named one Lyra?

I'll bet they'll be a lot easier to catch and handle than my free-rangers . I'll bet the dc are over the moon eh? Is dh pleased with them? Are they butch enough?

Coo. That's a lot of betting I'm doing. I'm not usually the gambling type . Have they gone to bed now? I'm just going to lock mine in.

I'll sort out a picture for you Lyra...hold on...

Yes we put them early because they were huddling behind the house nd we didn't want to be fishing them all out from there later on!

The name, Berrie, the name.

They should be there now?

Names not sorted yet though the brown hen is dh's and called Spaspecker the Great.

Ah. How exciting!

Ahhh...just been to check on them. None of them are roosting!

Who's the greedy one with 2 then?

You might have to put them on the roosts yourself. Some of mine never roost. I just leave them to it tbh.

I'm the greedy one of course!Mmmmm,names....Lyra....Oggs....Lyra...Oggs...

Lyra's a far superior name.
(sorry Oggs )

What will the chicken lay? Oggseggs, oggseggs, oggseggs!

That's a very poor effort Oggs. Tut.

Wakey wakey you lot! Just because the clocks went forward last night.

Berrie, have you been out to check your chickens yet? Any eggs? And what's wrong with Zeb as a name,eh?

Wet the bed Zeb? What are you doing up at such an ungodly hour? Surely you are normally in bed of a sunday in a fur-edged negligee wearing those shoes and with the Sundays spread around you, sipping a china cup of green tea, while Jeeves stands by with a silver tray?

Ooh. I watched The Prestige last night. Brilliant film. Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale. Yum.
Dh went to bed before the end, but it was so good that I started watching it from the beginning again .
