Hi
We only have a 45min journey to the mainland you have a long ferry journey and not very often. I am sure you will soon settle in to Island life, great time of year to move let you settle before winter comes.
The dingwall sale is smaller than Carisle but we love both sales, very friendly people. Have a good think about what poultry breeds you want. Do you want just lots of eggs or will you breed them and eat the excess drakes etc.
We keep muscovies because they breed well on their own, no need for an incubator, we then put all the drakes raised in the freezer and sell a few ducks and trios.
Wish you all the best in your move. There is a man Donald Macdonald on Skye who sells good chicken houses.
