Title: new birds
Post by: Andrew on September 03, 2008, 02:38:53 pm

Just been and picked up 7 twenty week old Black Rocks from a fantastic chap in Wishaw. They are absolutely stunning and have moved into our new hopefully theft proof run. I have also decided to give ebay a last chance with eggs and the ibcubator is full with 6 Scots Dumpy 6 Light Sussex & 6 Buff Orpington eggs. Will keep you all updated as to progress :chook:

And have you bought razor wire as well - and an electric fence?  Only joking, hope all goes better this time for you and Janis.  Good luck with the Ebay hatch.

Good luck Andrew.  I'm now hooked on hatching eggs in the incubator ;D............but have had to FORCE myself to pack it away until the spring now.   Apparently we are prone to quite a few power cuts here during the winter months  :P
