Title: Hello from Verrue, central France
Post by: pouletpaul on May 02, 2008, 08:29:09 pm

 As my name suggests I am big into chickens. I breed gold and silver wyandotte bantams, silver spangled
 hamburg bantams, black silkie bantams, japanese kyoto and golden pheasant. I also breed cream legbars as my
 egg supplier.I am a member of a French poultry club so most of my focus is on showing my birds.
 I also have a trio of Vietnamese pot bellied pigs and only yesterday the two sows gave birth to a total of 16
 piglets.So plenty to keep me busy on my small smallholding.
 Look forward to contributing to your forums.

 Bye for now

Hi there pouletpaul

Welcome, welcome and thrice hello!!!

Hmm Verrue, you are not far from me so if passing feel free to drop in for a cuppa and a game of 'catch the pig, sheep, or whatever may have escaped'!!

Look forward to reading your posts.

Move to Normandy! I just love the fancy chooks and you have some listed there that I would die for.

We have pot bellies amongst others - wonderful tasting meat.  We have just let some of the last litter go supposedly for meat, but when the lady came to collect hers she fell in love with her and now she is a family pet.  Her friend came the next day and took another one as a pet.  We have had litters for two years now and had no interest - this year people seem to just love them!

Looking forward to hearing lots more about your life in France and those lovely chooks!

Hi Paul and welcome,

We're starting work building a large chicken coop today. Looking to have about 20 birds for a mixture of eggs and 'meat' - any recommendations?

Look forward to hearing all your news....oh, and congrats on the piggies!  ;D
