Tel: 01631 720223 email: home@poultryscotland.co.uk BUYING BIRDS FROM US We are aiming to rear healthy quality utility birds that will share your lives for many years to come. WE are limited in the numbers of young adult birds we can produce each year - at least until we win the lottery and can put up lots more buildings !! This does mean that each year some customers are disappointed as we run out of birds we can hatch However we can hatch many more if they are bought at day old or at grower age. These cannot be sexed but you will learn so much more about your birds while they grow up with you Day old chicks must be collected on the day of hatch, of which we will inform you. Growers are not sexed except for Black Rocks and will need to be fed growers feed until about 16 weeks old so will need separate accommodation to laying hens. We will then let you know when your choice will be ready. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT altHOUGH WE WILL MAKE EVERY POSSIBLE EFFORT TO ENSURE THAT YOUNG BIRDS ARE CORRECTLY SEXED - PURE BREEDS ARE DIFFICULT TO SEX 100% ACCURATELY UNTIL THEY ARE FULLY MATURE. WE CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MISTAKES THAT SHOW UP LATER. TRANSPORTING YOUR BIRDS NEW HOME
Chicks will need a medicated chick crumb until they are 6 weeks old, Growers
need proprietary growers pellets until they are 14 weeks (for Black Rock)
-we suggest until 16 weeks for the traditional breeds, when they change
to layers food. We strongly suggest that feed is given ad lib, in a clean
no spill feeder. We understand the feelings about organic production but
do really recommend that if you cannot access organic feed that you resist
the urge to not use a growers / layers feed as you will not be doing the
best by your birds. Production will be lower and the birds will not be
getting the full general nutrition they require for long life, simply
from ranging. Grain alone does not provide enough protein nor vitamins.
It also tends to lead to fat hens which do not lay as well. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT US ANY TIME IF YOU NEED HELP AND WE WILL
DO OUR BEST TO ASSIST YOU. Day Old to Point of Lay Free Range Reared with the best care and attention
