My elder sister has the same problem, lack of space.
She quarantined hers at a friends two house down.

There's a strategy I never considered.

Of course we are aleady the strange couple with the chickens so.......

The nice thing about getting new birds about the same time as you & MJ is we're all in the same boat. I know I need to be more patient than I am by nature & take things slowly. MJ has done a wonderful job with her 2. Super impressed. Not sure I can emulate that but we shall try.

She set the bar very high for both of us.

I was laughing today, @MaryJanet gets 2 pullets, I top her and get 3, you top me, and the @Kris5902 sets a billion eggs to tops us all combined!

Just as well it's not a competition or I'd win because Peggy is by far the cutest, with Ivy right behind

I love how logic goes right out the window in moments like this

Nope. I'm considering Mab for the head Campine ~ if you know the story it should amuse you.

I love that name. I wish I had thought of that! Great choice.

Okay.. this is Bobs thread all over again .... I am trying to catch up and new birds... I did see and I did know you were getting them and was trying to keep up for when you got them but I am definitely lost.. I keep going back a page and back again till I find when you brought them home.. but haven’t found it as of yet...
Anyway, congratulations! Hope all are working out well.. and settling in... I’ll keep looking...

Sometimes they just take off beyond all control. All you can do is ride the wave.

I love milk chocolates with cream, or cherry or nut centers. But I didn't get any candy this year so I will just pout and stew about.

I feel better already.

MJ: I have decided on names, having spent a good part of this morning watching & listening & with some idea of temperament now.
Campines: from oldest down~ Morrigu [great queen], Mebh [intoxicating] , Aife [beauty] They were all queens of Ireland.
Wyandottes are named for the Picts who were little & hidden [supposedly]: Wrold & Alpia
The Araucanas have Scottish names: Beatha [life] Mhari [loved]

Now the Gaelic speakers can all be cross @ me & everyone else can ask how to pronounce them! And yes, there have been name changes. They may change again before we are done but for now....

Beautiful choices. I love them.

I don’t acknowledge Valentine’s Day; to me it’s a bunch of commercial nonsense and anyway, I don’t have a romantic bone in my body. That said, if someone gifted me seven chickens on 14th February, I wouldn’t say no.

I bet if someone gifted you 7 chickens on April 7th you would still take them.

 

[BY Bob]

That’s the argument I hear against Valentine’s Day; it should be all year round, not just one day!

If my hubby wants to show me how much he loves me, he can vacuum the whole house and scrub the toilets.

I'd rather buy flowers,
