Most people find they get on fine - with something between them. Dance caller. http://mo-dance-caller.blogspot.co.uk/p/what-i-do.html
Sunny Clucker enjoyed Folk music and song in mid-Cheshire Re: preparations for the girls arrival on saturdayThank you only 2 days to go. The kids at school are good with the chickens and the other animals, don't like cleaning them out though! They are fab when it comes to maintenance or if I need any physical work done. Only students doing b Tec are allowed with animals or those I trust, their never unsupervised.
Re: preparations for the girls arrival on saturdayHi, animals in general are good for all children ,and elderly .
Like cats on a lap , dogs for walking . Next door nieghbour has a special child , she love s the dogs cats , chickens . Trouble being , I do not let children in my house /garden on their own or un accompanied for obvious reasons. It is a shame as I am sure they would take a lot more interest in them . Not PC Bob Re: preparations for the girls arrival on saturdayHi yes I agree. Unfortunately amongst my group of friends I'm the only one that has a love of animals, they like them but not interested like I am. But thats fine, I get that as long as people don't hurt them. I have two dogs, cat,parrot and tropical fish. My daughters left home so their good company, and my grandson loves visiting.
Re: preparations for the girls arrival on saturdayHi , do not think you have been told/written about .
HOLIDAYS If you decide to go away for a few days or more , have you a plan on how to look after the chickens. Need to have a think as you do not want to spoil your time away by fear of the girls behind. training the humans to respond to the girls and reading the signs is not quite as simple as one would think. Bob Re: preparations for the girls arrival on saturdayHi I've not been on holiday for 7 years. But if I ever do my daughter will stay at home and look after animals, plus there is a local farm that looks after hens for people that go away.
Re: preparations for the girls arrival on saturdaySounds like you are well prepared and enjoy the girls.
Bob Re: preparations for the girls arrival on saturdayWell the girls have settled in to their new home, alls quiet and have gone to bed. Lovely to watch them foraging on the grass for the first time. Just hope the others rescued have found a good home. Shocking condition.
Re: preparations for the girls arrival on saturdayGlad to hear they are safely home with you.

Re: preparations for the girls arrival on saturdayCondition of hens .
I sometimes feel sorry for the farmers ,as when they do pass on their girls ,normally it is the time of moulting and end of the laying time. If you had seen some of my girls when they have moulted and having a rough time ,you would say I am being cruel as well. At least the farmer was prepared to supply for rescue . It could have just killed them and gone to a food chain. Well done again . Bob
