Thanks for thinking of me suesbird, it is a bit far for me to travel. I have, through my vet, got a good contact in Rolvenden which is a fair trek, but not too far and she does actually breed Buff Orpingtons and will be in the Spring. I must admit I do love all the 'fluffy' breeds but they are not really practical for my 'mud' patch!!! Thanks again tho.

Wow! I have never seen chickens sunbathing like that before. They really are soaking it up. Have faith, I'm sure they will produce some eggs for you, in time.

I hope that you get some eggs soon Shirls but I must advise you that I don't think they will be golden... I may have got confused with my wildfowl

Goose??? Who said 'goose', nah I've only got chickens and am NOT planning to have any geese or ducks for that matter. My next door neighbour wanted me to have ducks, lovely as they are, they are soooo messy.

Ducks....who mentioned ducks?
When God had finished the stars and whirl of coloured suns He turned His mind from big things to fashion little ones; Beautiful tiny things (like daisies) He made, and then He made the comical ones in case the minds of men Should stiffen and become Dull, humourless and glum, And so forgetful of their Maker be As to take even themselves - quite seriously. Caterpillars and cats are lively and excellent puns: All God's jokes are good - even the practical ones! And as for the duck, 1 think God must have smiled a bit Seeing those bright eyes blink on the day He fashioned it. And he's probably laughing still at the sound that came out of its bill! Frederick William (FW) Harvey
