Unfortunately on Jan 7th 2010 an 18 inch diameter cast iron water main
owned by United Utilites that runs through our land and my neighbours burst.
Within an hour we were 3 and a half foot underwater. Water was pouring out
for 15 hours. This water became a solid block of ice over our 6 acre small
holding as the night time temperature fell to minus 15 C.

The ice remained for many weeks as it was a particularly cold January
and February

Land did not dry out until month of May.

Unfortunately due to this catastrophe our pure breed poultry enterprise was destroyed. All buildings and a lot of good poultry bloodlines have to be replaced.

We have now started breeding a few birds for our own use. Consequently it will now be mid 2011 before we will be in a position to sell birds and hatching eggs again. If any birds become available for sale before then, we will advertise them under stock for sale.

I would like to thank customers for business in the past and will hopefully see some of you again in 2011.
