Yes ,work and enjoy with what you,ve got and see what happens, as Alan says if it does,nt go as planned get another family in from another source next time, you won't know until you try them.
I also agree that it will seperate fanciers from others, but to my way off thinking how many fanciers will leave the sport and sell their lofts ,equipment etc and not return ?
How many will be prepared to wait a couple of years to restart in a worse case scenario ?
Hyacinth,
when you say a chalk block, would that be exactly what to ask for or does it go by another brand name ? also would you think an animal feed store (horses) would sell them as there is one nearby me.
John,
I've got an old wooden case clock, but i'll have to check for you if it's a benzing or not, i'll let you know in the morning, do you collect them ?.
