He may want them, but he doesn't need all of them - don't you think he should share with us other Gloucestershire folk? Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooks Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I wouldn't be able to lift him Tom, so he's safe from his dunking. Tom your lovely to offer those to Lewis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAJ Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 You're welcome to some of them if you want! Seriously. Many thanks - I was only teasing, with my 2 new orps last week and my own eggs due to hatch in the next 24hrs I really really do not need any more - two eglus & cube in a small garden and a brooder in the house are my limit - but your 100 will soon be hitting 125 I feel (I suppose you have to keep ahead of Rewing ) Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I wouldn't be able to lift him Tom, so he's safe from his dunking. Tom your lovely to offer those to Lewis. Thanks Tom .... am hopefully hatching some of my own in a few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAJ Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 It's a lovely sunny day here - he is probably up the yard playing hens & horses and has forgotten about all of us sitting waiting for news. Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
