So, today we went to Little River - a beautiful spot out of Chch to get the chooks. They were free range with one of the most beautiful views i've ever seen (hopefully you can see in pics) . So, we came away with four chooks, in a cardboard box in the back of the car with instructions on what to do and what not to do...And as much as i had asked phil for us not to get ones with "beady eyes" and "the red wobbly things on their heads" - alas, our chooks have both. There was alot of flapping of the wings and pecking near toes, but all in all, not as bad as i thought it would be completely surrounded by chickens.
But they are home now and fed and watered and straw-ed and in their new housey. The dogs were frantic, zules was rigid with excitement watching them through the fence..... I hasten to add, i have not actually touched ours properly yet...they keep on looking at me with their eyes... and those claws - you should see the claws!!!!!
