the barnvelders were no good if you can it pays to have a look at the breeding stock before you buy Trev

Sure does I had a good line of Baney's I processed the extra roosters then 2 hot days in summer I lost my 2 breeding boy's I got a young one from T but he is much smaller and has a bent toe I might try later to see if I can get a better one.

a few years ago i put a over head sprinkler system in all the chook pens for the hot days and that stopped me loosing any other birds it was well worth it they get a wet in the morning and just after midday Trev
