Title: Sasso Day Old meat chooks....
Post by: Blinkers on March 19, 2013, 11:56:18 am: Hello All,
Have just ordered my usual batch of Sasso meat chooks which will arrive sometime in April. If anyone in the vicinity is interested in a few, do let me know and I'll add you to my list. They are fabulous meat birds, finish at about 14 weeks, don't go off their legs, live happily free ranging, and are the most amazing flavour when 'finished'. This is our 5th year of rearing them, so that speaks for itself :thumbsup: .

I get them from a chap at Llanpumsaint and I think he goes to ??Northampton, but I'm not sure. He goes and collects quite a few hundred each year.

Wish I could find somewhere closer to Lincoln. Can't seem to find any meat chooks here.
