Hello from South Wales...
« on: November 08, 2013, 12:27:40 pm »
I've recently started keeping poultry again after a gap of 20ish years.

I have some very nice Cuckoo Marans hens which I bought from darkbrowneggs earlier in the year which I've since supplemented with some growers from Kevin Bowkett. Hope to hatch the odd egg next season! I also keep partridge and silver duckwing Welsummers.

I'm just outside of Pontypool [which isn't that far from Newport, Gwent].

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

Let go of who you are and become who you are meant to be.

Hello Matt we'll you got some good marans there
If I had to guess probably two of the best maran breeders you could get
From what I see..
I'd be very interested to buy some of the eggs or pullets if your breeding any?!?! or even
Any surplus stock you may have.. Been looking around for suedarkeggs line of marans for a while
Now.

Regards Greg
