    My new girls!

    Hello all,

    I'm new to the site and chicken keeping so i thought i'd say hi and show you the girls.



    Right to left:

    Shirley (White Star), Mavis (Speckled Star), Gloria (Black Rock) and Doris (Bluebelle).

    They are about 15 weeks old and have been with me for 4 days now. Settling nicely, am picking them up every night so they get used to being handled and are loving being fed a bit of corn by hand at the same time. Actually i think i am the one loving it!!
    My other girls are arriving on the weekend, 3 Goldlines and a Sussex Star.

    Totally loving it, even the getting up early before work bit!

    Hi and welcome. That's a nice mixture. Hope your new ones settle in at the weekend. Getting up early does seem to lose it's appeal on cold wet mornings after a while.

                The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....

                Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

                    Hey Dale. Your girls look very pretty, I especially like the blue coloured ones. It's true you'll be addicted to them in no time. This website too no doubt. I know I am

                      Coooool I think you're a bit like me, you can't decided which one to get 'cos they're all lovely, so you want one of each! It's a slippery slope from here.... enjoy it all the way!
