Rat Hunting Glens










































































































Bailielands Cailin & Bailielands Sioda hunting for rats around the poultry pens.
Where our Buff Orpingtons, the big yellow ones and French Copper Black Marans ( layers of chocolate brown eggs) in the smaller wire run are kept.
This year I sold 3 pairs of young Orpingtons in 15 minutes making 120 euro in total at this months local poultry sales, couldn't get over it. Plus I heard one of my pairs resold on the day for 60 euro, blimey!
Got first years batch of buff eggs in incubator now and also 6 new Maran eggs I bought in ebay to freshen up my stock, also going to do an egg trade deal for new blood Buffs with a fellow buff breeder in Mayo. Its all go, chickens are great:)
Cailin & Sioda do very well catching any rats around, you know when a rat was caught by a glen and not a jack russell as the russell caught ones may be a little mauled, the glen caught ones look very intact except for bugging eyes as glens squeeze them and don't shake them. Grim but useless bit of info there.
