Well...... sitting here and thinking of chickens remembered you all and thought I would post ONE HECK OF A LOT has happened to me since I was last on. I lost my lovely old Phoebe, and the night I had to take her to the vets as she was in too much discomfort, a near relation of her's from the...

Hi all and Happy New Year. I am hoping to get a word press blog up and running and will let you know, but thought you would perhaps like a preview of an old Glamorgan custom that I visited on New Year https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPgZvMImbC0 Its great to see something which has been going...

I haven't been around for a while and had a message asking if i was OK. Yes hale and hearty (apart from a rubbishy cold keeping me confined for a few days) I posted this somewhere else and laziness has made me use cut and paste. Anyway I hope to get my journal updated soon and will let you...

Me again. One or two folk have asked to be kept in touch with what I am doing and where I am going, so I have started to do a bit of writing about the run up to my adventure. Once on the road there should be photos as well. If you are interested do take a look, and I would like to know how...

All my birds were sold some time ago once I decided I was moving, and now the house sale is agreed I am selling off everything which has been amassed here over the years. My family have lived here since the 1950's so you can imagine how much there is to go So there will be a house...

You are probably sorted by now, but I do have some ducks/duckling if you decide you are interested I am in Worcestershire and they would need to be collected so I may be too far away. This is dad For more info check out http://www.crested-ducks.co.uk I find my Marans pretty good layers...

I have 6 duckling for sale. Off heat and all carrying the cresting gene, which means when bred on the offspring have a percentage chance of being crested. They are a very pretty breed, small enough for garden slug duties, and the females lay a good quantity of nicely textured shell white eggs...

Hi All - these are going in the inccy tonight, so I should have some for sale. Check out website for more piccies of eggs and birds PS - One Chocolate Kinder Egg include for comparison

Hi All - What size egg would a large fowl Faverolles hen lay. When would you expect them to come into lay, and as pullets in full lay how many eggs might they produce a week? Many thanks for any info :D

Happy New Year to you all and may 2012 be a real vintage one for us and our birdies :-)17

OK :) I am liking the sound of this, my preference is for dual purpose utility type fowl, and they sound as though they fulfill this function, so if anyone will be having some eggs preferably pinkish and a good size I would like to put my name down for some. Sooner the better I suppose...

Ummmm ...... Faverolles...... I am toying with the idea of some for next year. Does anyone know what size / colour eggs they lay. Have they retained thier laying abilities. How quickly do they mature - I understand they were originally a dual purpose bird etc etc. :)

Hi All - I shall be selling my eggs next year but as they are laying quite well and the cockerels are active I wonder if anyone would like to test some eggs for me. No charge for the eggs. Post and packing for 6 eggs £7 or 12 eggs £9 - I have a good strain of Pure Cream Legbars some lovely...

Hi All - I am trying to get a full range of egg colours, and having currently got brown, blue, green and speckled I am now looking for something to lay a nice white, or creamy white, or pinkish colour medium to large egg I was thinking of maybe Australorp or Salmon Faverolles. Does anyone keep...

Hi All - Having kept my Marans for many years I was taken with the idea of a nice little flock of Cream Legbars as the eggs look so nice together. I bought in loads of eggs this spring, and in fact still have some in the inncy and some on order. But so far I am pleased with the way some of...

I am about to (I hope) put on some photos of my pair of African Geese. They are totally non-aggressive to handle, which was a prime requisite for me with geese. Laid well in their house in a nest they made themselves, and didn't even get cross with me when I took the eggs, which were nearly...

Hi All This year I bought an R-Com King Suro 24 egg Incubator as backup, which thankfully wasn't needed, so has just been unpacked but not used. Open to offers if anyone is interested Also this spring I bought an R-Com 50 which I have used a few times as a hatcher - excellent visibility for the...

Nice young ducklings off heat, very pretty £10 each collect from Worcestershire

Hi there - Does anyone know anything about Cayugas (hope I have spelt that right) I am thinking of utility birds more than show birds. What sort of size to they make, and how quickly do they grow? How many eggs would they lay in a year? What would be the best ratio of males to females? Are...
