jok 3,083 Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 That's been a long few months. Layers and mixed corn do not come cheap so the odd half dozen has been a little off putting. However. Last few days 7/8 and this morning 13. The girls look very good and at last seem happy. 18 turned out to be 17 with the pure bred Cream Legbar cockerel which to be fair I quite like. Happy days. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
