Might do, but just a reminder to those who have booked the CSSA Grassland Management course at Oatridge College, it's the same day.

It's the weekend of the Welsh Smallholder Show so I'm going to that with HappyHippy (Is Wales ready for this ::)) - shame, I like Fife Show.

Good luck Cameron and I hope we'll see you at the Scottish Smallholder and Grower Festival in September with your birds and eggs  :thumbsup:

Hi Cameron
I really enjoyed looking at all the poultry and made a point of looking for yours. I have to say i thought your legbars were lovely.
I have to say i would hate to judge as i thought all the birds were lovely
I am thinking of getting a couple of cream legbars later in the year ;D
