What is happening at the Estate? Find out in our blog below!
On the 1st and 2nd, as many of you know, we attended the National Poultry Show of Great Britain. We didn’t do as well as last year (getting Best Marked Silver Call, and a couple of firsts in the white call category, as well as 2nd in the Appleyard class) but this was mainly because some of the show birds were still going through moult. Nevertheless, we walked away with 3 prizes, after showing 6 birds. We purchased 4 Exhibition Gold Laced Wyandottes for brooding on call duck eggs this Spring - for those of you who have reserved already, this is how your eggs will be hatched. We also bought a pair of top quality Silver call ducks, from our friend and top breeder Alison Lovell. They may only be 2018 birds, but the duck’s mum was the Best Silver in the country, and was featured on the front page of the hit poultry magazine, Fancy Fowl. We look forward to showing them in the future! At the bottom of this post will be a selection of photos taken on the day. Photos of the chickens and silver call ducks will be posted in the next few days. Let us know what you think! Remember: ALL Breeds we breed are available to reserve NOW! We close the reservations book on the 17th of February and after this date you will NOT be guaranteed birds! We have capacities of up to 150 birds hatched in a season as we like all of our birds to free range. Once 150 have been hatched, we will NOT be hatching more clutches. Please email [email protected] or ring the office on 01889566800 to reserve birds or for more information, thank you.
