Introduction
Welcome to my Poultry and Waterfowl web pages.
The first birds I ever had were two commercial white turkey hens rescued in 1997 from a farm in Wales that was closing down. I started breeding Lincolnshire Buff poultry in February 1998 and and went to my first show, at Revesby, in august of that year with one pullet which won best current year Lincolnshire Buff. "Jessie" was shown for many years and did well even at National Level, and in her retirement, was a great mother rearing many chicks and even a couple of goslings. She is pictured below as an old lady. 
Bronze turkeys were also bred in May of 1998 for Christmas dinners. I continued breeding turkeys in various colours for the production of breeding stock and for showing. I have bred pied and buff turkeys this year and I am attempting to reintroduce the extinct (in the UK) variety known as the Crimson Dawn or Black Winged Bronze.
I have reduced the number of breeds that I keep over the last couple of years, but in the poultry line, I still have Lincolnshire Buffs, Silver Grey and Dark Dorkings and Nankin Bantams.
The domestic waterfowl which I keep and show regularly include Toulouse Geese and African geese.
White Indian Runner ducks and large Silver Appleyard Ducks are also bred to exhibition standard and shown occasionally.
