Post by: ballingall on January 15, 2011, 05:35:44 pm: Can you not just sell the birds and find somewhere to store the coops? Seems a shame to lose them all, when you might find your dream property to rent somewhere else, then you have to start with new coops etc. Surely if the birds were gone the landlord wouldn't mind the coops there. Could probably even store some of the henhouses etc here- I've one empty of my own just now (just to prove I am not looking to use them for my use without paying!).

Post by: Daveravey on January 15, 2011, 08:12:53 pm: Replied to both Tom & Beth

This is going mental

The nice chap from East Lothian has passed my number onto a friend of his & he's just left with an bootfull of birds.... Between them, they've nearly cleaned me out.

I've updated the main post to show what i have left.

Thanks to all.

Cameron, i thought you said Welsummers when you called, then i read your post above.
I do have 2 Buff Sussex pullets left.
Please PM me your number & i'll call you back

Post by: tazbabe on January 16, 2011, 05:27:08 am: what a shame! i'm probs too far away to be helpfull, but you could bring your stuff down here, coups and birds, to wait until you find somewhere else if that would help?
Title: Re: Layers & Breeding Stock + Coops & Runs etc
Post by: CameronS on January 16, 2011, 12:43:44 pm: would defo be interested in the two buff sussex and potentially he black rocks or cvalders if you still need homes.

Post by: CameronS on January 16, 2011, 08:42:59 pm: THanks very much for the birds, all snuggled up in their new hut, much to the distaste of the rabbits, suppose they will just have to get on with it.

hope it all sorts itself out soon

Post by: Daveravey on January 17, 2011, 05:33:52 pm: That's good news Cameron

Post by: Sandy on January 20, 2011, 09:56:32 am: Great news, you will be able to start again one day, I know some farmers have rental houses available, my brother in law used to live in one with a famiily that kept horses and all sorts of other things including stretch limos in the garage that " someone" rented, they turned out to be trouble, loads of trouble, not sure if they are still there and if they are, I wonder if they still have knee's? ;) ;)
Title: Re: Layers & Breeding Stock + Coops & Runs etc
Post by: Daveravey on January 20, 2011, 10:20:26 am: Some farmers fall under the "time waster" catagory Sandy.

One said person offered us a lovely wee cottage with half an acre garden, is fine with hens, kids, dog etc. Viewed 3 times just to be sure it's what we want.
When it comes to paying the deposit, starts to put barriers in our way & now has fallen off the face of the earth ... not taking calls etc

Says it all really
