Cate in NZ Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Oh, excellent. Depending on dates I'd definitely be interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard T Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 Some exciting news. Last weekend we went down to Forsham Cottage Arks and ordered a big run. It's being delivered next week. On the delivery note it's described as a HenPen. The gorgeous but slightly worried HP needed reassurance that I had not bought it for her to live in.

Martin B Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Are you putting the eglu inside the henpen? Any progress with the sheep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard T Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 Yes we'll be putting the eglu - without its run - inside the henpen. We haven't made any progress with the sheep. It's probably just as well because we wouldn't have the time to look after them at the moment. It's something we'll keep in mind for the future. Mind you, there are plenty of sheep in the area that we can visit at weekends. We are planning to get some more chickens and I definitely want to have a go at keeping ducks.

Martin B Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Ducks sounds exciting! Will you get a ducklu? Are you going to be raising your own Christmas Dinners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Our two are 'Natural Born Killers', so I have loaded up their collars with lots of jangly bling - they look like yardie pimps, That's the funniest thing I have read on the forum in ages!

Mel (& Paul) Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Mind you, there are plenty of sheep in the area that we can visit at weekends. like shared access rights then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I do that Richard; Rosie and I pop over to Broughton Castle and covet the lambs there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard T Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 Martin - we are planning on getting a ducklu. We might try raising Christmas dinners in the future but probably not this year. Lesley - not sure what type of duck. I've still some research to do on that. Any suggestions will be welcomed. Mel(&Paul) - the problem with shared access rights of sheep is that the farmer can move the sheep without notifying you. I think we might need to draw up a legal agreement to formalise the access arrangements. Do you know a good lawyer - or perhaps we should see a baaarrister? Clare - lambs. Whether they're gambolling in a field or swimming in mint sauce on a plate, you've just got to love them haven't you? Leeds Castle gathering - would anyone be interested in combining it with the monthly Lenham market? The market is on the second Sunday morning each month. It's not huge but we like it.

The Dogmother Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 That sounds like a great idea Richard. Summer is already starting to book up for us, so best decide a date early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I can't do Sunday mornings, but could possibly join you in the afternoon. I was wondering about Easter Monday, but I know Kate A is away then. Plus the M25 is usually ghastly too, especially going home! So probably not the best day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhapsody Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Why thank you I think Richard should do one from the Kent perspective, what say you? Apparently buying a farm is THE smart property move in the South East. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
