Nifty Fithty


More poults for the shoot were released into the new pen. The previous batch have suffered due to the bad weather and several have died. Thus another 50 were purchased from Graham Rawlings who is based near Romsey. Stephen had the smelly task of collecting the two crates in the back of his Terrano, Shelly was not impressed.

This new influx should boost the numbers for the season which along with the reported wild population being seen and noted allowing for a positive outlook for October.

If the weather is kind for the next or so then the fresh poults will gain in size quickly, as long as the food and water is in plentiful supply.
