Looking for MaransWe've got a couple that we inherited and are about 2.5-3 years old and we love their eggs, so we've decided that we'd like a couple more.I know some of you on here breed them, so if you have any pullets in the next few months, give me a shout please.

Sue's are brilliant - I have done a shady M5 layby hand-over with her in the past. I don't know how much she comes on atm.

Yes, I was thinking of Sue, but wasn't sure if she sold pullets or just eggs.
Gotta love those shady deals in motorway service stations! I always wonder what passing motorists make of seeing chickens being swapped over from car boot to car boot.

Pookie and Mochyn swapped a dead, unplucked goose in a car park in Welshpool once
|

And if Mochyn had one of her hats on, that would have made it look even more dubious, I bet!

I had the old bill question me over a plucked goose last year LOL |
| Jools |
"Is this your goose sir? Did you pluck it yourself?" |
| Chez |
I believe Goose Plucking is still illegal in 23 states of the Union
|
| Jools |
And in the other states it's illegal if you're wearing wellies on a Sunday whilst singing to the sun.
Or shagging a sheep. Or probably something like that! |

I will have pullets in the next few weeks Jools, will be setting some eggs in the next couple of weeks.
What age do you want them?
|
| Jools |
At what age can they be guaranteed that they're girls? |

I've been known to meet Nick & Northern Lad for shady handovers as well in the past
Edited to add: Sues birds are lovely and yes they do produce lovely big dark brown eggs
|
| pookie |
I can pretty much tell straight away, the girls are darker than the boys.
But, I have just had a count up and can spare a couple of pullets..... I do have two that have just started laying if you want them sooner. I don't know exactly where you are, but if you, or someone, is travelling across Wales?

Ooh Pookie, don't suppose you'd have a couple ready to go at the end of Feb would you? I need to restock and I want dark brown eggs. If after this sale you have a couple spare, I'd love to book them please. X |
| Jools |
We're in Bridgend, so getting to yours should be easy enough. We haven't been out for a nice drive in ages! |
| pookie |
ok, I'll see what I can do, I need to pm you both anyhoo 
|
| Chez |
Pookie, I'm sorry, I forgot you had them as well

No worrries, I was advertising these for sale a few weeks back and only Nell wanted one. I guess the sap is rising now
