    well I've been caught out.

    As the new chickens weren't going to be ready until mid Feb we relaxed this weekend and didn't fix the run.

    Well phone call today to say they are ready for collection at the weekend. :eek: now i'm dashing around trying to get things started. Have a horrible feeling Oh will suggest collecting them next week. This might mean we end up missing out on the breeds that we hoped to get.:rolleyes:
    Kind Regards
