The chicken house arrived today whilst I was at work. Interesting since I had organised for it to be delivered on Friday when I don't work

Anyway have unpacked it and now need to put it together, looks very small for 3 chooks Perhaps I should only get 2 or do they like squashing up?

Seedling

They LIKE squashing up at night, they squash up even when they don't have to as it keeps them nice and cosy.

Now whose typing is bad? The not they

Seedling

I have no idea what you're talking about...

please get 3 then if anything should happen to 1 they still have company as they are birds who live in a flock

Good point Gilly - we already tried to convince her here.

Dear Seedling, glad it has arrived safely, how exciting.

Two's company, three's a lot more fun
for the Hens.

I will get 3 -dont panic . The man in my road has not been able to get me any so will have to find some elsewhere.
Managed to build the house before it got dark and then went back to work. I hope they like it -it was more annoying to build than a flat pack.

Dear Seedling, have you thought about any names for them yet?

One step for Seedlingkind and one gigantic step for Seedlingkind Woman!
Seriously though Seedling I wish you the very best of success with your coopies!

Just got my 3 chickens. Very exciting. They are in their house settling in. I`ve called them Hattie, Mabel and Ruby- all brown . Will try to put photo up at some point .

Well done Seedling, and what lovely names.

Just wait until you find that first egg.

You`ll never believe this. Just went to say goodbye to the girls and see if they were alright before i go to work and one of them has laid an egg
Clever thing. thought it would be days before they settled.

Must have been the shock of a scary face looking in.

I am pleased Seedling.

There was evidence of shock as well (if you know what i mean). Plenty of compost to come i suspect.
