“To most people who have leisure
Raising poultry gives great pleasure:
First, because the eggs they lay us
For the care we take repay us;
Secondly, that now and then

Feathers men make various uses.
Some folks like to rest their heads
In the night on feather beds…”

Ian from perfect poultry let us collect a few eggs to take home with us before giving us some advice on which breeds we should get.
We eventually chose a Light Sussex, which we will eat, a Black Rock, and a Calder Ranger.
He also sold us some feeding equipment.
