Gifts for Life

Our two autumn Open Days were a great success and because of the generous donations of visitors we were able to send the following practical gifts to families in the Developing World:

• Five healthy chickens with feed and medicines to families in the Philippines or Malawi
• Farmer training for a farmer in Malawi
• A live goat to a family in Afghanistan
• A live sheep to a family in Niger, Africa
• School books, school bag and supplies and a Bible to a family in Manila.

Our Next Open Day is planned for November 2010. Watch this space.

Chicken facts:
We catch your ordered chickens the night before you collect them since they have spent the day in the paddocks enjoying themselves and come home to the hen house to roost.
These chickens are approx 70 - 80 weeks old and are still laying.
Their breed is Brown Shavers (good reliable layers).
They all come with a replacement guarantee.
You can buy chicken pellets from RD1, PGG Wrightsons and Farmlands etc.
If you feed them good food they will lay good eggs.
They have not had their wings clipped or beaks trimmed.

WHOLESALE MEAT
