  1. i have a soft spot for collie crosses but on preban hares prefered saluki lurcher cross collie lurcher as opposed to a 3/4 grey/1/4 collie which i have owned and seen a fair few run. found the saluki collie lurcher better in the wind department and better feet while retaining bidability. these dogs were run on big open fields ie wheat stubble fields.

    what do you want to hatch?i might have space for 1 broody to hatch some eggs for you. I'm not entirely sure mate, have you any decent fertile eggs knocking about spare? ive not gnipper a fox wiped out most of my welsummer hens and the cockeral. the light sussex are young birds yet im only going to breed of them next year. im picking up some welsummer hatching eggs from preston she also has cream legbar and araucana hatching eggs £1.00 per egg. hopefully i will have the birds sitting tight in the brooding shed in 2 weeks. so give me a shout if you want some hatching whatever breed you dec

    i have tried it joel. they were fine while sitting. when the chicks hatched thats when the problems started. hens started squabbling etc. in my case found it better to have one hen per clutch other people may have had different experiences.
