craftyhunnypie Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I presume a lot of her stock have now gone to pastures new. Correct me if I'm wrong. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I think like many other people the constant rain has taken its toll here and the sheer number of birds was becoming a chore and not a pleasure, the feeding and watering routine along with basic checks was taking 3 hours a day and I wanted to get a better balance between the time spent with the other animals I have given up a few breeds and passed my breeding birds to others to continue the good work A few birds have gone to Ireland to be part of a breed improvement programme Its also the time of year when my hatching is virtually non existant and I start to look at the youngsters I have with the show season in mind So nothing too dramatic or worrying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Oh thanks for that Redwing, I always smile when I see your huge list of animals It always makes me laugh, especially when you popped along to Wernlas (think that how you spell it) to have a look and came back with most of the stock Didnt want to look nosy but I think because we all chat on here it feels like we are all friends after all these years.
