Title: Can anyone help me out?
Post by: CameronS on May 20, 2013, 01:17:08 pm
I'm in a bit of a pickle - thursday this week(23rdMay) as part of my college course i am participating in a school "eco awareness day" - in which i will be talking about the benfifits of home grown produce.

As aprt of this project it has been requested i bring a long a couple of chickens - and if possible chicks/duckling or any other baby avian creature.

My incubator is set - but having just candled them i can't work out how many are developing! 

Big ask - is there anyone local(ish) (East Fife) to me with any babies i could borrow for the day. got all the equipment to look after them - its just incase mine don't come off.

Cheers

Would have loaned you some chicks with pleasure - we have them hatching here, there and everywhere, at the moment. Unfortunately, I am not exactly local to Fife.
 
Hopefully someone on here can help you out.

Hi Cameron, I have chicks! Just coming up for 2 weeks old though so past the cute and fluffy stage.....
You're welcome to borrow them for a while if they fit the bill. There are 7 of them.
