Ok it's been a while!!!

Just a quick post as i'm off to bed. It was my 30th birthday yesterday (officially I don't celebrate my birthday - but who doesn't like prezzies?). I had been in bed sick since fri with a migraine (I can't take my medication as I am pregnant). Finally starting to feel a bit better and my beeeeutiful son came down with a bug and proceeded to pee on me and throw up on me - TWICE!!!
The second lot stank lol! Happy birthday to me you say ;)

So my new obsession you ask? (i'm still obsessed with bwing) CHICKENS :D Yes you heard me right! I want chooks so bad and it's going to take me a while to get there. In my head I'm thinking a year (god willing). I have to completely revamp my garden as it is a tip!!!
I will also have to save alot of money.
I'm thinking of getting an omlet eglu or cube

I'm not sure yet though. I did discover something called a chicube today but am not sure about it http://www.chicubes.co.uk/

I also found some wooden coops that I finally fell in love with, only for the maker to have ceased trading :( http://www.kevscoops.co.uk/
For now ;)

My only concern is the dreaded red mite as quite frankly ease of use and cleaning is paramount in my search for the perfect coop.

How many Chickens do I want you ask? I'm not sure really. Which really will affect the housing needed. Knowing me though, i'll want more and it's recommended that you only keep 4 maximum in the eglu (with extended run, or walk in run).

You see the dilemmas I face! Lol!!!

Musn't forget i'm also trying to redecorate the 'spare' room before the baby gets here (due 12th May) So that we can all fit in the same bed!!
