Wanted: Aylesbury Drake
« on: March 05, 2014, 11:34:21 am »
As per subject - I want an Aylesbury drake! I've just called off a test hatch from our small flock as after three weeks nothing has happened in any of the eggs :(
Wasn't expecting a massive hit rate this early in the season but zero is a bit too low so if anyone in the Cambridge-ish area has spare drakes I'd like to buy one please!


Thanks,
Ben

Don't despair yet! I had a couple of dud broods this time last year from the Silver Appleyard drake but he was going great guns later in the season.

Thanks for the encouragement!
I'm going to pop down to the auction near Mildenhall next Wednesday as a friend wants to buy some chickens and I said I'd show him round so might pick one up there if there's anything decent as I've enough girls at the moment to run two.
