HENthusiastic Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Yesterday I saw a notice about 5 minutes away from home saying "pullets for sale" . We have an empty eglu in the garden and are going to pop in today, just for a look! Do you think that is safe? We MUST not get chooks because we have two cream legbars on order. We really want cream legbars and lovely blue eggs, so surely this will keep us safe from accidentally buying a couple (or 3) POL pullets today?

MadMitch Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Yes of course you're safe..................NOT. But your only one phone call away from a cube or another eglu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mostin Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hen has sent me a text because she can't get to a PC. The bloke there breeds and shows Wyandottes. She didn't get any but I get the feeling she may be waivering and may be going back for a second visit . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) You will fall for a sob story or a sick hen and end up taking half a dozen home. I forbid you to go. Edited March 11, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 The worst part of it is we are going over to Hen's and her OH's on Sat for my OH to chop down one of their trees. I just know I am going to end up down at the hen place with her and then there will be no hope for either of us . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HENthusiastic Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Here I am *waves frantically*. I WAS safe! The lady didn't know very much about the chooks and I only got to see two, a lovely black and white hen and cock. He was very splendid. The rest of the hens are aparently a little way off. She said that he breeds and shows them and is "very serious about it"! I have to say they were very attractive; but the cream legbars have got my heart. However, if Mostin wants to go and take a look on Saturday and the bloke is there.......... who knows! ps The tree chopping is so we can extend our coop and have..................... more chickens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
