I have a number of birds for sale from last years breeding pens.

Welsh Black Fowl.

This breed will produce cockerels at maturity around 7lbs and the pullets will lay around 180 eggs a year. Very good winter layers if hatched around April.

Indian Game.

Both Jubilee and Dark laced Indians

and an Improved version that lays bigger and more eggs than a 'pure Indian Game. The Improved are 3/4 Indian 1/4 Welsh Black.

Very good layers of a large egg and cockerels again worth taking on for the freezer.

All the breeding can be seen on my web page.

These are quality birds and are priced at £20 each (pol).

All these strains are top sitters.

All very nice looking birds Castlefarm

Do I remember you having some Blue Marans, a couple of people have asked me for these and I never know where to send them. The other ones they seem to ask for are Wheatens. Let me know if you do and I will pass your details on

all the best

Hi Sue.
I have 3 pens of Marans in all about 26 birds. (French, feathered legs) both Black and blue. No wheaten though.
Eggs for hatching mid/late March.
