No, but we just bought a book *I think you need to speak to Val.

Judith knows I've a lot of experience with hens. *

When we were farming we kept hundreds of free range hens for egg production.
I also bred pure bred Rhode Island Reds, and Light Sussex and was listed
with the Farmers' Union as a specialist breeder. *

We also had over 300 geese at one time and hatched their eggs in specially
designed goose eggs hatchers. *We sold geese as breeding trios, goslings,
young geese for fattening, and also at one time fully plucked and prepared
for table.

Val I will email you for help as soon as we get them, I won't ask here
as I know that my lack of knowledge will be pathetic. I hadn't
realised just how extensive your production was, when my feet touch
the ground I will email you. Hope you and yours are keeping well.
