Great to see you Henwife, Fenn and I stopped off at Adele's on the way back and Fenn couldn't resist a partridge silkie she saw.

ViciJP - shame we missed you, next time we will all have to wear PK badges or something Smile

I made it there for all of 10 minutes.
Mixture of jetlag lurgy cold and being in a mood due to me being home and my suitcases still being in New York apparently. Its always me! Rolling Eyes

Its a bit crowded in there for me especially since i usually dont have a clue what im looking at. I saw the silkie and pekins with the eggs.. Im glad they went to a nice home. We stopped off at Poultry park on the way home and ended up with 3 more girls and a bag of grit which i had actually gone in there for. I was looking around for PK members but tend to think of people from forums looking like there avatars which didnt help me much Laughing

Welshduck i got your PM and will give you a call this week and take you up on your kind offer and arrange to visit ( and no doubt get into ducks as well)

I like Hereford market because its where I bought my first birds 22 years ago. I was only 13 and came home with a quartet of Khaki Cambells. My parents told me it would be a seven day wonder. They have been eating those words ever since. I've met so many lovely people through the sales and made many friends all over the country Very Happy

I remember they bought me an incubator and I hatched out about 200 in my first year, I raised them in our piggery pens. It was great for ducks as has concrete sloping floors Very Happy

They all went back through Hereford market during the summer holidays

i was at the sale, met up with clucky and fenn, also met henwife its so nice to meet people from the forum, i've only just joined and think its a great site, everyone is so friendly, great to be able to meet up and have some "chicken talk" my OH gets fed up of hearing about chickens.
i took some chicks in to sell, legbars, silkies, sussex bantam and welsummer hope they have gone to good homes.

Does that mean you might have some LF Welsummer hatching eggs available? They were the only ones I failed to get.

Henwife, I think I may have been stood nearly right next to you.
Reddish hair, black jeans, red trainers(me)?

Short grey/blonde hair and always dressed in navy - that's me, and congenitally unobservant! Known to the 'porters' as Mrs Furnace! You're possibly right - I notice redheads because I have a red headed son.
