Hi Mark - Dizzy1pig is close by and she has Silkies, Frizizles and Aracunas - all very beautiful.
CameronS is also in Fife and has some for sale from time to time.
I have Black Rock, Isa Warrens, Lavanders, Light Sussex and 5 chicks just born over the weekend (Aracunas we think). Also have goats, geese, ponies, lambs, ducks, a rabbit, 3 Cocker Spaniels, 3 goldfish and a parrot.
-
Currently i have for sale some light Sussex, i am about 6miles away from Cupar, just outside Ceres.
i have two hens one is 11months approx, the other is 16weeks and may just be coming into lay.
Cockerels also available
-
Full time job with animals then ....LOL ;D ;D ;D
how hard is it to look after chicks, i wouldnt like to mess things up , what equipment would you need any tips or web sites i could look at first
-
Hi CameronS
quite intersested in 16 week old one how much would you take for it ???
-
Chicks are relatively easy to look after, as long as they're kept to temparature, have food & clean water.
I'm a wee bit further afield in Ballingry & have 1 Buff Orpington & 1 Maran pullets (12 weeks) that are in need of a new home plug plug :P
As for websites, you could do a lot worse than this one ;)
-
Chicks are easy to look after , providing you have patience to wait 21days for chicks, and a further 19 weeks for eggs, and are able to dispatch any unwanted cockerels.
to hatch you need and incubator(or a broody hen), a warm secure place to put the chicks when hatched - red heatlamps for warmth for about the first 1-2 weeks, chick crumbs, shallow drinkers. and a safe outdoor pen,Time and patience .
Thats about all i can think of
website wise You could try hensmadeasy, Jocelyn is based in Darsie and is very helpfull with enquires, she often has birds for sale. http://www.henkeepingfife.co.uk/ (http://www.henkeepingfife.co.uk/)
ask as many questions on this as you want - everyone has to start somewhere and the replies are really helpfull
-
£15 for the 16week, and £10 for the laying one
£20 for both
-
Daveravey - how much do you want for your BO and Maran?
-
£25 for the 2 birds
-

-
Hi egglady do you have anything at the moment ? :wave:
-
It was me that has the 3 Orpingtons in Forfar, and delivery to Fife is not a problem.
If you are prepared to wait a while or can cope with youngster, I also have some Barnevelder at 9 weeks, and Speckled Sussex at 5 weeks old. Just 2 or 3 of each.
-
How much are you asking for the three orps. and can you tell me what age they are and are they all girls thanks again.........Mark ;D
