[eggs on legs]

I was going to ask about when was the youngest age to have chicks that do not need special care i.e. extra heat etc. Also where near cardiff I could buy some.....bantams would be ok, anything nice as long as they are not brown !!

BUT, with the new bird flu outbreak - perhaps I should wait a bit

 :?:  :shock:

My Gerty is brown and she is the funniest most personable hen you could meet and has so far laid over 360 eggs  :!:

[Aunt Sally]

That's her trade mark.  Always got a blade of grass hanging out

Nothing wrong with brown ones, just wanted a bit of variety. Looking for a seller near Cardiff is the tricky bit. :shock:
