Talking They're here!!!

Oh my god! I'm in love with them already!

They are such characters. Madeline, Judy and Midge...

Madeline is boss, Judy is sooooooo intrigued by everything, and Midge is bald and a littl etimid but getting there.

One of them laid an egg before we even got them home on Friday

That's Judy, she's a little star. She's so nosey, and not scarred of anything.

We have a 3 year old that lives next door who runs up and down our garden screaming like crazy, and she just stands watching him like she wants to join in.

I LOVE THEM!!!

Re: They're here!!!

They are lovely. Who is the third one? She looks a bit (alot!) scraggy now but I'll bet in a few weeks she'll be looking much better

Agree with Bigdaddy - they are brilliant fun. Ours make me laugh so much. They have just been following me & the dogs around the garden.

Apart from Judy what are the other two called?

Yeah, Judy already comes running when she hears us talking.

How long would you leave it before letting them out of the run (only at weekends when we are there of course) or will they stress when we're not there and we can't let them out?

Re: They're here!!!

i let mine all the time and have done since day one they only come out when im there to keep a eye on them they normal come in the house and have a look i dont mind but you got to watch when they poo

letting them out will be fine but be warned if there is anything plant wise you would like to keep them either move it or block it off from them they will love to scratch around and dig holes and dust bath in the dirt they are good at getting rid of the bugs in the garden

they wont get stressed they will learn that when your there they can come out mine will go back in the run on there own i just leave the door open if they are being stubbon just put a few meal worms in the run they will soon be in there

Bald one is Midge, she's so adorable but still a little timid. Madeline (the other one) gave her a hard time for the first couple of days but now they sleep snuggled up together on the perch.

Will the try and fly away if I let them out?
