I don't have any chickens just yet. But I have a patch of ground ear marked for them. I want some Black Laced Wyandottes. Just to look at. I'd also love some Modern English Game full sized Silver Duckwings, but they appear not to exist any more :no:

 

What I must get is some Guinea Fowl! Love them crazy f*ckers! :D Just too much on just yet to even think about them. Maybe next year?

i used to keep chickens when i was a kid, me & my little brother had everything from scruffy little crossbred bantams, to fuzzy white silkies & fecking great big brahmas. chicken for sunday lunch, fresh eggs everyday... :D we had ducks & geese too.

when i get some space, i'll get a few hens. some Dorkings, maybe an indian game cock. a pair of geese too maybe. :good:

used to have 49 birds. Couldnt get enough eggs to sell from our door step! Same problem as you though, the underkeeper on the estate called while i was milking and said that he thought he had just seen a fox in the garden. Thought it had to be my mums lurcher (foxy looking blond mongeral! :laugh: ) however when I got home 30min after builders had left and 15 after phone call, we only had 30 left :censored: She paid a heavy price though, she had left a trail of our birds for her cubs husband found the cubs 7 in total :clapper: not long after that had to move (rented property) so only have 3 at present, but going shoping with my birthday money to get a few more meadowsweet birds. Try to steer clear of auctions as we ended up geting birds with lung problems which didnt show until later in the year.

I might know someone, Jigs. Co. Leitrim. They're only about fifteen minutes from me, by motor. Only I don't drive a motor and they're out of my way. But if I can get a phone number for them, or have someone drop by, would ye be interested?
