All going well, I am going to go up to aviemore tomorrow to collect birds from Victorian farmer.

If anyone would like me to collect birds for them and transport them down, i will have plenty room to do so.

I will be coming back via Perth, dundee then to arbroath. Can meet you anywhere on this route.  Or could come back Perth , Dundee, Forfar

I can pay VF and you can square up with me.

Also if anyone is interested I can keep birds and you can collect from me near arbroath on another day.

I'm keen to have some of these and Bloomer has offered to collect if he is going for his.  I would have min 2 and up to 4 depending how many are left including what he is wanting.

VF if that's OK can you coordinate dates with Bloomer and I'll give him the cash to bring.

Thanks but I have legbars and a local supplier if I need more. 

Just wanted dark laying marans as I missed out on DBEs dispersal because a few turned out boys and i was lower on the list than girls were available.  Then the lot i bought at Lanark aren't dark egg layers, more chestnut brown than chocolate, lovely tho they are.

Seems I'm not lucky when it comes to the marans.
