Hello from Surrey....
« on: May 18, 2010, 07:41:16 pm »
Hi.

Just joined up as I like the look of this forum! Oh, and I have some American Buff geese to give away (sadly only spare boys before you form a queue)

Have 3 acres in Surrey with a bit of a menagerie..... Chickens, geese, ducks, turkeys, quail, seramas, rheas, llamas, horse, dogs, cat.

Pigs arriving tomorrow. Very excited.

Many people from Surrey on here? I belong to a couple of poultry forums & it seems I'm in a South Easterly minority - someone will be selling exactly what I want, in Fife......  ;D

Looking forward to chit-chatting to you all

Helen

Piggies are a couple of Kune-Kune's that were going for slaughter because they couldn't find a new home - rescued! Yeay! :pig:

I don't do anything with my llamas, I just like having them knocking about! I see you have alpacas, do you use their fleece?

Kune-kune are lovely :) i wondered if you might have taken the llamas trekking, we watched some one walking theirs with teddies sat on their backs lol Hopefully showing two of the alpacas fleeces after their sheared this month and the other two are being used by the people we agiste with and we get a bit of wool back. If youve pics of all the animals i'd love to see the pigs and llamas

Hi and welcome from the Scottish Borders, Llamas are lovely, there are 2 just up the road from me who do llama treking. One of them is now learning to pull a little cart.

A serama is the smallest chicken you can get! Size of a dove, although I had a Dutch bantam that was about the same size. Seramas can be quite fancy. The people that show them train them to stand up straight and puff their chests out - they look brilliant!

Hello from the Peak District in Derbyshire!

We have a llama among a lot of other animals.  He is a guard llama for our large free range poultry flock.  Unfortunately, he does not seem to like me, and does spit.  My OH is treated better, because he brings Robbie his favourite treat - ginger biscuits.

Not planning on moving up there just yet....

Was just asking if anyone else was from the SE as I'm always seeing adverts for poultry related things I really REALLY want - then see the location is Fife! Now I've had 2 hello's from Fife - so clearly everyone in Fife keeps chickens!
