Angus Arran Chooks Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Well after much deliberation I have done it... I have ordered a brand new shiny It will be delivered all the way to Arran (not too pricey delivery either ) Gwen from Omlet says it will be here is roughly 3 1/2 wks (would have loved sooner). Been speaking to a breeder/keeper on the island (flock of 150!) who has got ISA Browns, White Stars and a couple of silkies (which have gone broody). Will probably get a couple of ISAs from her and try to hunt down not literally) a silkie for wee Angus. She has recommended a video/dvd called Poultry at Home by Victoria Roberts - anybody heard of it, is it any good? Anyone have a spare copy?? Heres hoping - in 4 weeks we should have wee chooks!
