All my birds came through WInter very well so I now have a "spare" pair of unrelated 2015 hatch birds.  Both well grown, docile and healthy. The female is settling down to laying regularly.  Please PM me for further details.

ahhh, these are the ones on the RBST watch list!

I was keeping my eye out for some these, but it's waaaay to early for us yet (we've not actually moved into our smallholding yet).... will you be selling growers later in the year for the standard xmas period?

Thanks

1.  Oops, I meant tUrkeys!

2.  If all the birds do as well as they usually do then we should have quite a few growers.  The limiting factor is not egg numbers or hatchability but the fact that the majority of the females go broody by mid Summer and are pretty well impossible to stop.

I think all the non-commercial breeds are now on the Watchlist.  Judging by our own experience of bought in eggs from other breeders last year I can see why as hatchability was 96% from our own birds and only one of 13 eggs from two other sources hatched!
