I know , I could have done with them at the time though and he was fairly local so I tried more than I normally would .

I’ve given up trying to sell on Facebook. You get messages asking if it’s still available so you say yes and they never respond . Another one is if you’ve got something up for say £100 they’ll message you and say £20 cash and I’ll collect tonight , like they’re doing you a favour . I had one clown from Chorley message me within minutes of me putting a reel on saying he definitely wanted it so we did a deal and I arranged to meet him next morning at darwen services . He never showed up and wouldn’t answer any messages . Buying can be as bad on there though , I’ve responded to a fair few ads and

I’ve got a few silkie Sussex hybrids , light Sussex and cream legbars just for eating eggs and some rare breed houdans and Swedish flower hens for hatching eggs and chicks and now the old English game bantams .

They are , I tried to get him to part with another dark hen to make a trio up but he wouldn’t go for it . I want a break from building runs and pens for a few weeks then I’ll knock some more up and get some Pyle and ginger and maybe some black red - partridge if I can find some

Managed to get these today on my way back from picking some more Swedish flower hens from maryport . Got them from a bloke in Penrith . That will do me now till I can get some more pens built for some other colours

Thanks , they don’t seem as easy to get hold of as I thought . I messaged a bloke on one of the Facebook groups that said he’d have plenty this month and heard nothing back and rang someone off preloved advertising a few different colours but he only had a mixed colour pair

Thanks for the offer but it’s bantams he wants

My brothers after a trio of oeg bantams if anyone’s got any for sale . Red Pyle preferably but black red - ginger or Furness is ok . Anywhere in Lancashire- Cheshire- Cumbria and West Yorkshire

No , they went a while back . I forgot to update the post

Loads of cabbage whites and a fair few red admirals aswell on my pen . Plenty of bees and millions of annoying wasps too

Roughly 5 miles

This was some of the lures I used . Forgot to mention the ima glide in sexy mackerel colour

I don’t do it now but used to do a bit of bass lure fishing and I favoured hard baits over soft plastics . Not because they are better , just because I liked collecting jdm lures . My favourites were ima hound glide , ima sasuke , longin franky , longin hi standard , and megabass zonk . Top water wise have a look at xorus patchinko , xorus asturie and mechanic lures auto walker. Colours I favored in hardbaits were cotton candy , joker , 500g , yellow , white and sand bora . For soft plastics , savage gear sandeel , savage gear gravity sticks , fiish black minnows and pays bass jj minnows in

That’s interesting , I’ve got another one in my other run that looks similar that I’ve wondered about . I’m going down after dinner so I’ll have a good look at both of them

Just messaged a mate and asked him to nip on and have a look while he was down . He sent me these pictures and said he thinks it could be a cockerel but the other one makes you think it isn’t because it’s more advanced. He thinks it’s a slow maturing and it looks like saddle feathers are coming through
