chelsea Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) Whilst you're down in Devon - if you have time you must visit the Devonshire Traditional Breed centre in Crediton just outside of Exeter. It has loads of beautiful hens to look at (and buy ), farm shop and cafe. Edited April 24, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Perfect! See here - http://www.dtbcentre.co.uk/ They have some stunning hens, we got our cochins from there but they are expensive. (worth it though) On the Crediton to Exeter road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzarina Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Oooh, I had many happy childhood visits to the Devon County Show. Like you I'm in Oxfordshire now, but don't half fancy another visit... we used to be allowed to have Friday afternoon off school (in Exeter) to go to the show, which seems unbelievable now! The sheep tent is my favourite. Have fun, and I hope you find some lovely chickens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also wondering if they'll be able to get up the ladder! Poor little things with there tiny legs Hope to get date for them v soon can't wait too much longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I'm also wondering if they'll be able to get up the ladder! Poor little things with there tiny legs I had the same worry, I had my 4 girls on Tuesday with a , it took them a few attempts but now they are all ladder experts! Just waiting for that elusive 1st egg! As for forum taking over your life, Indie999, my husband has been looking at new laptops, as he's said he doesn't get a look in with the computer as I'm always on here He's said the chooks are proving far more expensive than he imagined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggquisite Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 Oh bless, I can't imagine the little dots with the ladder.. but it sounds like they should be ok As for forum taking over life.. VERY fortunate but my OH does have his own laptop - which believe me is a very good thing.. but I'm not sure how long I'll have an OH for at this rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
