News about the web site.

Have been updating my web site today and adding new items, also put some more hatching eggs on ebay. Avairy panels are a good way to extend your run if you are finiding the one you have is not enough space for the birds, also good to make a temporary run to bring in new birds. We sell the 6x3 for £17 each, a good price for a locally made quality item.

Monday morning and we have the rain which was needed to put out the bonfire yesterday. Well better late than not at all. At least the neighbour cannot complain now. Work which should have got done yesterday is now done, so the Turkeys have a nice clean bed to look at, they actually perch at night, but they smell a lot nicer now. I am going to bed with my favourite poultry book, I read a very interesting chapter last night part of which was about windfall apples, apparently the acid in the apples which all hens love to eat will keep them thin so not recommended to build the hens up for a hard winter.

Hello Everyone

Well its November and really quite mild so the eggs are still being laid by quite a few of our hens, so hatching eggs still available.
