Spare hen

[jupiter_19630]

Just found out the hen from one of my attempted pairings is a cock! He fooled two experts. Managed to source a real hen to take his place but now have a spare cock.

Rather than get rid of him, as he's untried, like all my team, I,m looking to source a cheap 06 hen for him, tried or untried preferably close enough for me to collect.

Don't want to give Amtrak any more business than I have too.

Hi Mac,

          No particular strain. cost and availability has been the deciding factor on purchases rather than strain, so have allsorts, busch. SVR, marcellis, hartogs, VDB, westcott.

Thanks for your help Mac. I might be sorted though. Went to my first club meeting last night and mentioned I needed a hen. One of the members reckons they've got a few spare so I,'m going to have a look later.

At least that'll save me £25. I,ll let you know how I get on.

Mac,

       Picked up a lovely little SVR X chequer pied hen from a young lady from the club this afternoon. I'm well pleased with it.

Thanks for responding to my posting. Catcha later M8. Cheers.
