I'm over the moon to be doing the Blackpool Collection
If anyone has friend or relatives in Lancashire etc who may be interested, please be sure to mention to them that there is now a local collection point for them to get some of these lovely ladies!

If I know the closing date I know how long I have to get sorted & persuade Simon that I'll need the use of his van that day.
Hiya,
Its been a bit mental recently and we rushed getting the reservations open as we have a very short time before the rehoming date that I didnt give it a thought about when to close the lists and to display it...........We will close the list on Friday October 7th and that will include the donation deadline too. I will get that displayed on the website tomorrow evening.
Thank you
Taz

Lovely! I missed the last one. Lets hope we get a better response down this way. I have put 5 posters out yesterday , in the local pet shops, and feed merchants
I shall be doing the Reading collection point again I have today begun advertising in the local free ad type papers and websites and have already received 7 emails trying to sell me financial services

I'm honoured to be doing my first collection point this time too (for Milton Keynes)
Have been busy distributing the A5 flyers Taz kindly gave me last time and I've asked Hubbly to put it on his work intranet/notice board today
Going to ask my best friend to display it as well, she works for a very big employer in the area
Bev x Our family: my-Lovely-Hubbly and I, Benny and our two little Ladies - Betty and Gloria. RIP dear little Ladies - Lottie, Cottie, Elsie, Dottie, Hilda and Margie. You may have gone, but are never ever forgotten.
My posters arrived today so i'll now be spending the next few days blasting as many places as i can. I dare say i am also now annoying facebook friends with regular posts about it I have also had quite a few people message me who have seen a post on a horse forum i go on who are interested in rehoming some in other parts of the country - so thats fab! I am soooo excited!

That's a shame but maybe next time hey?
Don't dream it, BE it....
Am looking forward to welcoming Sunny Clucker to Woodbridge Suffolk!!!!!
Fingers crossed . At least I now have plenty of time to source materials to build a nice big run for them (already have a few fence posts & other odds & ends that the farm were just going to throw away). Though they will eventually free-range like our last lot they'll need time & space to recover from the cages & get their strength up & I want them to have as much space as possible as it will take a while (plus I need to allow for any that may have long-term/permanent problems & may never be able to mix with our other chickens).
I'm not sure how many people have reserved yet for my collection point but from my online advertising i have people wanting to get them from coventry, nottingham etc I've also been asked if there is a Cumbria collection point planned for the future
