Happy Birthday Highwayman

What it says on the tin.

Is he still around? Happy Birthday if you are.

Probably holding up a coach as we speak.

Just about Jock, been back in the hospital for a while but much, much better now. Thanks for the Birthday wishes, I got a home shirt, a chicken coop and 5 friggin chickens.

Hello mate, sorry I forgot that you had posted a couple of weeks ago  

Hope you're feeling well and enjoying your day  

Happy Birthday, don't count your chickens.

Happy birthday H man, remember a thin fowl lays more eggs.

Thats because of the breed not the feeding, like cattle there are breeds for meat and breeds for production.

Cattle don't lay eggs, silly!

Sorry I did not know that, I suppose you can't milk chickens either.

Happy birthday, Highwayman

True a breed like a Warren will never fatten like a general purpose fowl like a Rhode Island or a Light Sussex, but if you feed any of them a lot of food, especially high carbs. they will get fat and go off lay. #educatedfarmer

Happy birthday Highwayman!

I have five Rhode Island Reds and had my first two eggs for breakfast this morning allthough not exactly large eggs and what a difference in taste from a supermarket battery egg. Cheers for the tip Iggy, have to stop the Mrs from feeding them every two minutes especialy on my tiger loaf! 

Happy Birthday, FFS.

I use farm gate layers pellets fwiw, buy the 20kg bags small ones cost a fortune. Nothing like good fresh eggs to make you feel better.
