Hi Rob

We are getting 20 of the quicker growing chooks 8-10 weeks, 20 of the coloryield which take 10-12 weeks ish and 20 of the Mastergris which take up to 16 weeks, to try them all out!

So first ones should be ready about 15th May!!!!!!!

Mmmm.

Julie's got the Hairy Biker's Cookbook this morning (it's her birthday!) so she now wants a Tagine and lots of ingredients.

I can see us coming back for a few once she starts cooking !!

LOL Babe, yes, it will be a bit tame won't it? but I wouldn't get 300 in my 2 little freezers!!!! and we may be getting some more layer chicks afterewards, as Brian has got the bug, even though its me who looks after them!

He just likes counting the money, but forgets how much we've paid out for them over the past nearly 6 months!!!!!! We are only making 59p profit on each one this time, not taking into account the set up costs, but hopefully I've learnt a lot, so next time will be a bit better!!!

Then he wants to gets 50 turkeys for Christmas too!!! And guess who gets to raise them?

?
