Title: hello all
Post by: woodlandproductsfife on July 17, 2010, 08:00:15 pm

Hi I,m Craig from Fife in Scotland. I have a small business Woodland products fife. We build high quality sheds, play houses and pet accommodation. you can find us at www.woodlandproductsfife.com I have been keeping hens from the start of the year.  I have the bakers dozen at the moment. 5 Isa brown and 8 highlines. I hope to increase my flock to around 250 when my business will be expanding into organic fruit and veg. This maybe sooner rather than latter as I have just found the ideal property. lets hope the bank manager agrees. Anyway I look forward to learning from all the experts round here, and thank you for reading

Thank you very much James what do you do your self?

I run a small hotel just outside St Andrews which is mayhem just now with the golf. I have 12 goats, 4 ponies, 5 geese, 18 ducks, 13 hens, 1 rabbit, 3 dogs, 2 goldfish and a parrot. Don't think I've missed any out. Will look at your site later. :)

Hopefully all 6 will hatch and survive. She is sitting on these eggs as if she has been glued to them Nicki. She should make a great mum.
