completely the wrong time of year... wait til Spring/easter sales are the biggest start of the season.

Melton Mowbray have a market which is pretty good - not sure where blyth is in relation. but worth a trip out as good bargains to be had.

Chicks and ducklings at this time of year will have a struggle with the winter, good breeders will avoid late hatchings.
