Hi everyone
« on: January 31, 2010, 05:58:13 pm »
Hi guys. I am off to a great start it has taken me about half an hour to work out how to post here.. ???

Have read quite a few of your posts and some great ideas..

Here goes I have a few laying hens about 40 i think , 8 white silkies with 9 3week old chicks, 3 black and 2 red silkies, 5 frizzles, and 9 pekins

think that,s just about all for now.. some in incubator all started with trio of pekin which stoat and fox finished off.... last may so meant lot of work to make beastie proof.

I am a gardener and look after 3 half acres inc. fruit n veg

I am in north east fife and always on the look out for new source of bantam eggs if possible
thought might try pygmy goats but have feelers out for a few lambs as well

Any one that can help  please do always open to suggestions n new ideas

Hello, I think you may be quite close to me. I have 7 Pygmy goats, started with 2 but they became addictive, now have 13 goats in total.

Not St Mikes,  Leuchars.. take it from your picture that you may have some chooks to.. I only started with 4 but got carried away

Easily done. Any one else around about that s daft  and gets carried away.

Have seen all the pygmy goats no sure about your 2 new gold ones

Hello and welcome!!

I have an assortment of animals, just going into double figures with my goats (pygmy and large ones) and  have a large free range hen flock, sell eggs at the farm gate.  Have lots of bantams, silkies, and pekins too.  All laying at the moment, but by Easter, I can guarantee they will all stop laying and go broody for the summer!!
