thats great - i'll send you a cheque in a couple of weeks or so then. could you bagsy me 8! will you have just black or blue too?
i have been trying to decide on a particular breed for my laying flock as at the moment they are a right mixed bunch! do you think the are a good choice of bird -good free range forager, friendly (have volunteer workers on plot), not flighty to get over fence to veg plot, good egg layers? how resistant to troubles do you find them? and do they go broody much, the books mostly say that they dont! i have a couple of orpingtons that are just the ticket but i understand that australorps are better layers. the mass of soft feathers don't seem to be the mud/muck trap that i feared they might.
thanks
