Eglu cube

[JILLY JACKSON]

Iam having an eglu cube delivered today and three new hensI intend to keep my bantams free ranging so they see the new girls through the wire for a while so that they get used to one another,then hopefully they will not fight too much whenthey all actually meet face to face!Hopefully OH will take some pics at the weekend!

Poor Bride! You're suffering from Pic Deprivation!

Poor Bride! You're suffering from Pic Deprivation!

more like chook deprivation, its not looking good on the permission front, the neighbours are ok with it , but apparently i may have too many pets already.
good news however the two kittens found new homes last night and will be going on sunday, just down the road too, so i will still see them all the time.
the Housing said they will assess it on how many i have, i tried to say that the chooks would not really be pets, but they said , best you say they are cos livestock is definately a no no.
so i am no further along.

Can't wait to see the new girls...and fancy cube Jilly. No hopefully about it...MAKE your OH take pics for us!! We need to see the new arrivals!!

Ohhh Bride, that's not great news is it?? You do have a lot of furry friends mind you, but I can't see what difference two, three, four...etc etc...chooks will make. But then again, I'm not the housing association!! Good job...because I'd ban children under 21, and encourage chickens, cows, sheep, goats, cats, dogs, ducks, etc!!

Still unable to think of any religious reasons for keeping the girls??

Well have just returned from the garden after commando crawling into the cube.Very difficult.But thankfully no one was there to take photos of me!!Got them all in after a struggle!Its been hammering down with rain all day but its dry inside the cube thank goodness,despite problem with the roof.There does'nt seem to be a problem with gaps on mine terrier,but i appreciate your input.Will take a real good look tomorrow as any problems should be apparent by thenI have found omlet to be very helpful so far,they will be sending a replacement roof by carrier .Anyway,having fun and am looking forward to some eggs!Love all your comments and good wishes,thanks
