jok 3,233 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Just googled the breed and to be fair you are spoiled for choice. At the end of the day I guess it's cost. Surely you must someone close to home as breeders such as Mellerstain Estates or similar. Good luck with your search. Jok. Quote Link to post

mr huntsman 3 Posted January 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 hi lio1 i am in north Lanarkshire we have put ring necks the last couple of years but we have trouble holding them so i thought i would try black necks this coming year as i have been told they dont stray as bad Quote Link to post
Lab 10,979 Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Personally I don't think you will see any difference in birds straying. But I always liked blacknecks myself. They are a stronger bird at chick stage and a nice strong poult. I've pmd you a boys number who will be happy to help you out...?? Quote Link to post
mr huntsman 3 Posted January 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 hi thank you for your help i think they are a bigger bird and i have been told that they will hold better i need to try something for next year it is still to mild and our birds are every where except at the hoppers i tried bird puller and only pulled sheep the weather is to be cold for the end off week but i think it will be to late for us Quote Link to post
