YESTERDAY we hatched our first Hubbard chicks of 2013....and we have surplus ones available for sale...£1.50 now, or £4 if you aren't quite ready for them and want them in a week or two. These are great meat birds and ours reach a nice juicy 2-2.5kg in 8 weeks....then they just take off (as some of ours did just before Christmas....topping the scales at 5-6kg at 10-12 weeks old!!!)

....and TODAY we hatched a bumper batch of whopping big Pekin x Aylsebury ducklings. We rear ours for meat and they're ready for the oven in just 8-12 weeks. They're not sexed and they can be bought now for £3 each or £5 if you want us to keep them for a couple of weeks.

Give us a call on 07729-347297 or PM us on TAS if you're interested. We're between Glasgow & Stirling.

Hi,

Hi Lifeeb

We hatch Hubbards and ducklings throughout the year, get in touch again a month before you need them and we'll make sure you get what you need.
