How could I resist?

[SuzyB]

I went to look at some five week olds this afternoon, just look you understand...

There was no way we could come home empty handed though was there..

Meet Tiger Lily (so called because of the black and gold, Lily for short) the Blackrock and Periwinkle the Speckledy (kids naming chickens, dont you just love it?)

Arent they sweet!

Oh heck! I'm going to a sale tomorrow JUST TO LOOK! I will not take the carrying box ..I will not take the carrying box ....I won't really!
Suzy I really wish you hadn't posted these piccies just tonight!
They're gorgeous!
Last time I wasn't going to buy anything I came home with 4! I will not take.............!

[SuzyB]

I almost didnt take the carrier but as it was the nice man gave me a box anyway so really, there was no way I couldnt come back with something, it was fate! Least thats my story to it and Im sticking to it!

Don't worry they have a habit of jumping into the boot of your car and hiding when you're not looking!

you're absolutely right Suzy I DO want to! Trouble is I haven't really got anywhere for them to go just now!
Well ....I do only have 5 in the big house which is big enough for 12 and I don't want them to be cold in the winter so............................................ maybe I ....NO NO NO!!!!

[RedThorn]

lol beautiful girls!

[its hilly]

Theyre gorgeous, love the names. But you're going to feel so silly going out to call them in, I should know.

[Bramble-Poultry]

I know Sue just like last time we both went to look and those nasty little pekins just jumped into the boot of my car and we were nearly home by the time we realised they were there

Bit like those naughty "wee brown hens" that smuggled themselves into your car!!

See you tommorw hun (actually glancing at the clock later today )

Suzy they are really lovely bet you are chuffed with them

[ginger ninger]

I wish I had room for some chooks, I've only got a small garden and that's taken up with my veg, plus I think my neighbours would strangle me

[bluemoon]

I just love the expression on that Speckeldy's face, you absolutely could not resist that!

[SuzyB]

I love the fact that they still 'peep peep' rather than bok bok.

The older girls arent too impressed, they keep walking up to the run, fluffing up, tutting and saying 'bah, the youth of today' at them

Truly, I only take the carrying box in case I meet a stray chicken on a busy road........really I do..........really!!

I resisted! I did really!
Jennie where were you? I needed you there to persuade me that the cream legbars were just what I needed! Did you go later or was I having a senior moment? I nearly bought you a little Buff laced bantam wyandotte cockerel! The lady was desperate to sell him and offered hime to everyone for £2!
Polly - like you I only take the box just in case! I did and guess what NO stray chickens!
I'm really sorry now......................... wonder when the next sale is.............?
