Wanted - Hatching eggs - Ayrshire
« on: February 10, 2016, 02:03:49 pm »
Hi

I am looking for some hatching chicken eggs.  I don't have a particular breed in mind but they are mainly for eggs.  We are in East Ayrshire so ideally looking for some locally.

Thanks

Hi there we are over in Dundonald and have a run with 11 hens and 1 good cockeral that we use for eggs we are just about to put the first lot in the incubator to see how fertile they are if you are intrested.
The hens lays 300+ eggs a year.

We had that mix once, the colours of the hens were amazing, everybody commented on what lovely hens they looked. 
registered soay, castlemilk moorit  and north ronaldsay sheep, pygmy goats, steinbacher geese, muscovy ducks, various hens, lots of visiting mallards, a naughty border collie, a puss and a couple of guinea pigs
