We have never named any but, inevitably, they get named by appearance or characteristics, and the 'characters' quickly become known :)<br />Not sure how if this works with your numbers?Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05252983027018111307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-51357820503145304902012-04-11T19:00:42.950+01:002012-04-11T19:00:42.950+01:00Sorry about the hen - what a shame.

I can sell eggs at a local farmers market twice a month and was thinking about 20 birds would do our personal use and leave some to sell to hopefully fund any associated costs. (I will be keeping about 25 quail too)<br /><br /><br />Thing is I too want to keep that pet family feeling rather than production line feeling too, pleased I seem to have got my sums right <br /><br /> SharronThe Squirrel Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08970265671489926403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-53065411955747386222012-04-11T12:15:19.953+01:002012-04-11T12:15:19.953+01:00Durr, I've just left a comment on your previou...Durr, I've just left a comment on your previous post recommending 'Mik and More'! I need to keep up-to-date with my reading of your blog, don't I?! Anyway, hope you are as happy with your mikman as we are with ours - it's a brilliant service and popping the empty glass bottles out to be collected is so much nicer than trying to cram those nasty plastic ones in the recycling bin!Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17888014986650598361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-20651820860032356202012-04-11T12:14:43.646+01:002012-04-11T12:14:43.646+01:00Congratulations!
