Me and Carrie are trying out a new page on our web site, for all that don't know we are now sharing a web site as
a) it is cheaper !
b) between us we have loads of colours and as we live close (ish!) it seems alot easier for people if we sell anything, to sell them together !

The new page is just a trial as we may forget to take piccies e.t.c but what I am hoping is that I can do a week by week picture take of each chick that hatches also it says when our next hatch is due e.t.c.

As I only put it on yesterday you may have to refresh ( right click with mouse then select ' refresh ' ) the menu bar on the left and it is titled BABIES !

Let me know what you think - bad comments too please else I don't know what I can fix ! - also a few people have said that the pictures don't work for them let me know if this is the case please Laughing

Yep showing fine for me too - although at the top of the page the header image or banner is just a cross!
Can't wait to see pics of the sabelpoot!!! Fingers crossed.

Great idea you guys!

I went to have a look and loved the videos. But seemed to have a problem on the forsale part ~ it showed pics of polystyrene egg transportation boxes. Also on the babies page 1 ~ there was a pic of the eggs in the incubator, then a pic of a blue partridge chick but the space for the frizzle was again the pic of the incubator.
This all seems to be too critical, sorry, but on the breeds the brahma has the same pics as the Barbu D'uccle.
Can't wait to see the pics of your pekins

Hehe ! there is no such thing as too far away guys Razz

- me and Carrie travel all over the country, taking chickens for people either our own or other peoples ( too much spare time I think Confused

)
We are going to Yorkshire in a month or so, Norfolk twice a year, Carries hubby goes to Bristol everyday, Wrexham - not a problem, Manchester at the end of the year and Carries family lives in Essex so she is there often - only place slightly out of reach is Scotland - but we have been known to travel to scots corner before ( wow that was a long drive Shocked

)

Summayah - I think I know what that may be, depending on what server you are on depends on how quickly they up-date the pages, now I cheat when making a new page and use the html code from a different page ( for example the Babies page was used with the same code as the poly boxes one ) this is the only thing I can think it is - could you do me a huge favour, could you go back onto the pages which are in-correct and refresh the page for me, dont use the refresh button in your tool bar but the right click mouse then refresh button, see if that makes a difference, if it does then problem solved, if not I need to contact the people that supply my web space, so I would be really really grateful if you could try that for me ..... pretty please Very Happy

Hello again Nellie,, no need for pretty pleases, honest. I've just been back and did what you said (which to be honest I did yesterday too) and still I get the same errors as last night.
I used firefox and I really can't believe they are going to mess up for me. Hope it's something else, although if no-one else is having the problem, then it must be me.........usually is with computer pics and videos!

thanks skye girl - it took many cold people to make those sheds Very Happy

Summayah - I think I may have found the problem Surprised

! - ok if I have got it right then on the first page of ' babies ' you should now be able to see the buff frizzle instead of the incubator - if so YIPEE I have worked it out !! If not then I am stuck !!! - its not your pc, it is alot more likely it is a typing error by me ! - and if you are having problems it means other people are too, just not saying Very Happy

that's fine, Nellie, I don't mind being a guinea pig. Who ever heard of guinea pigs keeping chickens any way?

The good news.......yes, the for sale and the babies are coming up fine now.
the bad news...... for the sablepoots you have your top row of orpington pics and then a repeat of the first 2 pics.
I couldn't see any of your poland pics ~ all squares but I think that probably means you haven't done those yet?

The site is excellent now I can get to see it, well done.
