Ooh how exciting, could you ask him Erin please?

My mate is a gamekeeper & he has lots, but they are huge industrial ones that hatch hundreds / thousands of birds. Bit big for my little project.

Re: Guesswhat we are getting?


Smudgley, how do you get the eggs without being pecked to death?!! I spent the Summers at my grandma's and it was my job to collect the eggs...whoo hoo but they resent egg-stealing! Is there some trick to it I never knew?

Ummmm - chickens can be sexed at one day old by someone who knows what they are doing. - We used to have breeding flocks, but I'm not offering to come down and do it for you LOL. Logoes
