We have eggs every day... I'm so pleased!
So, we got our hens on Friday 26th September and got them home about 6pm.... they all pretty much went to bed soon after that and the next day I woke at 06:45 and skipped to the chookery to wake the girls up.
I sat there with a cup of tea and sat there.WAHM Ltdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09391354697281073015noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3942417241524134097.post-24078651325065124162008-09-27T00:45:00.001-07:002008-09-27T00:48:15.897-07:00Here come the girls........Well, well well.... We got our hens and a swift lesson in “Just 'cause you haven't seen a chook jump 6 foot before, doesn't mean they can't!”After a lot of faffing about it became apparent that we were getting nowhere with the rescue hen situation so found a local poultry farm and went to visit... well, I say visit but we amazingly had the cage in the back of the car!

Mama Packs went back on sale again and as per usual sold out within hours, lots of lovely emails from people loving the packs but when I suggest they leave a testimonial or review on the site only a handful do. Some of the testimonials have me in stitches, I particularly like the one left by Kitty Banham who said: “omg I nearly peed myself when it arrived, no one knows I am WAHM Ltdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09391354697281073015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3942417241524134097.post-80799532973043845112008-08-25T09:01:00.001-07:002008-08-25T09:11:20.758-07:00The Mama Pack Cult Buy!!We reckon there must be a body guard, you know like the two Ron's from the 80's ?? What were they called [hurriedly Googlies..] Ahhh The Management! Anyway where was I?

We finished off the doors for the pop hole side and added a roof. The wood part of the roof was made out of a wardrobe I have had since 1972 and the felt was new. Robert didn't want to get reclaimed/recycled as it usually isn't very good quality and waterproof... I agree.

I don't mean an in depth analysis of Mercury and Venus either. I have been finding myself staring at the lounge area thinking how I could fit cupboards and shelving in there...
