Griffin Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Anybody been? We're thinking of taking the kids there tomorrow. Is it any good? How long will it take to see everything? Are there lots of chickens to see? How much spending money will I need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAJ Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Take you wellies as it gets very muddy outside. Plenty to see for the kids, including ponies, rabbits, etc not just chickens, plus a good sized shop (gift & chicken supplies), plus a cafe. Have grand day out.

Griffin Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 I was very good and didn't buy anything But I did fall in love with the Houdans and Welbars and just have to hatch some out. Setting the incubator next month and it'll definitely have some of those in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidygirlsuk Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) Glad that you had nice time. Did you get alot of rain ? We got there to late, to get around it all. Edited April 11, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 It rained a bit but not too much, I think it waited until we'd finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmommasally Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Lovely photos Griffin. The white peacock is stunning, I didn't see him when I went last year. Is it me or does the picture of the Silkie near the end look strange - it looks like a large coffee bean on his face? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 It does a bit I always thought Silkies were ugly until I actually saw one in the flesh a few weeks ago. Now I want one! We all agree that the highlight of the trip was all the escapees happily following people around, mugging them for corn, annoying the still caged chooks and the ones who were clearly in the wrong pen like the little Seebright in with the Buff Orps Tiny chooks with massive character The little Laced Poland followed the kids for ages! The entire mini Old English Game family were out on their own for an afternoon stroll! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*mummy_hen* Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 We went last year but it was pouring with rain so we only did the shop in the end but looks like a nice day out. The young runner ducks looked absolutely gorgeous!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
