Not the largest of birds and seem to be one of the breeds people either love or hate Back to top surrey bird Joined: 20 Jul 2005 Posts: 50 Location: SURREY Posted: Mon Dec 12, 2005 11:09 pm    Post subject: I love em but not quite £58 worth Back to top skye girl Joined: 27 Aug 2005 Posts: 638 Location: Isle of skye Posted: Tue Mar 21, 2006 4:38 pm    Post subject: someone I got my eggs from (Silver) said they sold them for £45 each !!!!!!

She started laying for the first time this week and I must say that the cockerel has been there every morning as they come out of the coop doing the business. I have two of their eggs in the incubator (for fertility testing, I will not be keeping them, but will be selling them on) I have 6 more eggs also in the incubator, I bought as I am trying to increase my stock to 1 cock and 4 hens. The Cockerel has his first show in May.

We're planning World Domination... Which show are you taking the cockerel to? I've got a gold Appenzeller pullet - she's beeyootiful Back to top Chicken Lady Joined: 11 Mar 2007 Posts: 8 Location: Telford Shropshire Posted: Mon Mar 12, 2007 9:34 am    Post subject: I am taking him to Oswestry on the 5th May. He is such a show off, but I love him to bits. I have a pair at the moment, but have 8 "Appy" eggs in the incubator as I am building up stock. I want to end up with 1 cock to 4 hens. She is getting all the attention at the moment, don't know how she will react when 3 more ladys arrive. She only stated laying this week and I have 2 of her eggs for fertility testing in the incubator too. But sadly they will have to be sold off as chicks because I dont want any inbreeding. I will be looking for egg swaps too, as I hve other breeds. In the incubators at the moment, I have Araucana, Cream Leg Bar, due to hatch on Thursday, and have 18 quail arriving tomorrow. There are also 2 pekin and 4 silkie in at the moment, but again these are for fertility testing and will have to be sold off as chicks. Anyway I may post some pictures in the galery tonight. We should have a Shropshire Rule logo hehehe Back to top CP Moderator Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 14107 Location: Hampshire Posted: Mon Mar 12, 2007 9:38 am    Post subject: OMG! They're taking over!
