Hi

 

I havnt posted in ages but I always read up whats going on .....

 

I have seen some people selling hens that are rung 07 / 08 do you think too old to still produce young.

I borrowed,some old Soontjens 9 years + off my good friend Fred,

Going back to the originals,as far back to the tree as I could.

As Luck would have it,Although they missed the odd egg here and there.

I did get a few good birds out of them.
