debbier Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I made a trip to The Gobbett, near Bridgnorth today, today, and have returned with a Salmon Faverolle and a Barnvelder, to add to my two older Cream Legbar and Marans. The set up at The Gobbett was very good, with an excellent variety of very healthy looking birds and a wide number of breeds to choose from. The owner was very helpful and informative. I'd definitely return if/when I need any more birds. My Marans doesn't lay any eggs whatsoever, and hasn't for over a year now, regardless of what food she's on and she's regularly wormed, no mites I can see etc. The Legbar is a lovely layer, and has been giving me an average of 6 a week, but when my last Omlet Miss Pepperpot died a month or so ago, it was time to get a couple more.

zakjon-98 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Nice breeds my barnevelder is a great layer so you should have lots of eggs hopefully! Very jealous of your faverolles- they are top of my chicken wishlist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbier Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 The barnvelder has lovely markings, doesn't she? The (salmon) faverolle looks a bit like a puffed up hamster with a cheek full of nuts, and was the one my daughter chose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
