A freiend of mine has a broody and is looking for some fertile hatching eggs near to Ancrum near Jedburgh.

Not really bothered what breed, but would like Large fowl.
Can any one help. Can collect.

I have got a Copper Maran cockerel (young and unproven though) running with a flock of mostly Maran hens at the moment, so can sell eggs but no guarantee of fertility levels.
 
I am near St Boswells, about 6miles from Ancrum.
 
Anke.
 
It's a bit late in the year though isn't it?

PM sent Anke. Thanks for replying.

Maybe a bit late but they are still at it - I have a Welsummer sitting since last week.


I have Welsummer and Welsummer/Marsh Daisy eggs if you like, again no guarantee of fertility levels but you're welcome to some.  I'm not so near as Anke being 3 miles out of Lauder on the A697.


By the way (and this is completely out there) I was just reading recently that Beatrix Potter's brother is buried in a graveyard in Ancrum, he was a farmer there, married to someone from the area and didn't tell his parents he was married for most or all of his life.
