Yet.<br /><br />You and Leo are stars and I and my feathery ladies send you huge hugs and soft pecks and clucks..Compostwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028585447065282738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565279858815030729.post-46020762051118345372012-01-06T22:54:36.963+00:002012-01-06T22:54:36.963+00:00Hen & Leo (and helpy people there who help, He...Hen & Leo (and helpy people there who help, Hen & Leo), I physically felt relief while watching your video of these ex-batts meeting grass.

And if so is there a particular pattern for knitting/making warm outdoor wear for them?<br /><br />Evie<br />xxThe Whimsical Quillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07927001316922034404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565279858815030729.post-25446561933900885992012-01-06T22:11:33.464+00:002012-01-06T22:11:33.464+00:00Hen, loved reading this, lucky girls to have found...Hen, loved reading this, lucky girls to have found you and Leo and well done for all the hard work, I am going to tell our chucks all about it tomorrow, big hugs you both deserve it.

They are so lucky to be able to live out their days with you.<br /><br />I picked up my 12 girls the same day as you, it's been a heck of a week weather-wise hasn't it? My whole run shifted about 6". Today was much calmer and I let them out for their first potter about the garden and luckily they all came back to me again. I keep frantically doing a henny-headcount to make sure I haven't lost anyone!<br /><br />Look forward to hearing how you are getting on.
