Wonderful for you! Can't wait to see pictures. How is the new place coming? Did the container get delivered?

I m converting the big shed for the moment ..we are working 24 /7 no stop .

flat land no good when it run too much in a short time .

Working on the drainage system so the chooks will be safe in the future.

There is a petition online that may interest Backyard Chicken breeders. It does pertain to France but in the end it is important to us all. The world gets smaller every day and we must preserve our heritage breeds and protect the small Backyard Chicken operations.

a trouble RedBank I do not talk chooks all the time BUT I do talk genetic for most of day ,

specially with all the work i do with all sort of breeders .from cattle ,dairy ,sheep and the plant . I have to explain the thing all the time 100 time over and over.

my friend the chooks breeders they want me to work with they cream legbar chooks ( very expensive ) because they are stuck .

I like only the marans and the necked neck chooks ( I do no have now but I will soon )

chooks man

when you get the naked necks please join the naked neck thread. there are really nice people there. there is a person who knows a lot about the colours but many of them are doing crosses in order to get nice dual purpose birds. they need a person like you so they wouldn't waste time with the wrong crosses (they mostly are Nn naked necks).

I have 2 Nn's with my marans boy and some time in the future I plan to have dark layers Nn's. I keep Nn girls only so they can be with the marans girls, no need of the separate coop..

Hi every one .

today i got a phone call from AvGen poultry ( peoples who import the chooks from the UK ) telling me that my order of BCM ,BLCM and SCM going to be ready to picked up or delivered on the 1st of October .they will be 8 weeks old. they hatched 2 days ago .out of the hatcher ( fully vaccinated ).

the SCM are English strain ( so I have to rework them - convert them into French - )
BCM and BLCM are pure French strain razed in the UK .

all this imported strain are registered pure breed . they come with they papers ( flock breeders number in the UK ) so they could be trucked .

I m so pleased ;
I placed a big order.
4 cockerels and 4 pullets from each variety . 24 chooks at 8 weeks old.

very expensive and a great investment .

it is going to be a great addition to by flock .

chooks man

congrats! good luck with them!
