Best o luck wae the doo!! Once reported a cheq hen of Inch Bros. They told me tae keep it as it was surplus to their requirements. I raced it as a yearling and it scored well and had a go at the channel wae it but thats where my luck run oot!!!

Some do some dont. A hen that won over 3k for us was rescued as a yb 7 miles away!! A second chance?
