Hi Gerald and Margaret ..........(21:09:08)

Just a wee note to let you know how we are getting on. Hens,(NEW ISA WARRENS) are doing great, they have total free range in our garden and have in fact eaten everything edible in my vegetable garden. I think I need to fence it to keep them out! They are laying well now, we are getting four eggs every morning now for the last couple of weeks. We even had a double yolk a couple of days ago! They are lovely birds with such a good temperament, they allow me to pick them up and handle them, and they come running as soon as I open the door. The only time they have bothered my kids is when they were hungry and thought my three-year old had food in the bucket he was carrying to collect the eggs in! They gave him a good chase around the garden before I realised what was going on... but generally they don't worry about the children at all.

My only regret is that I didn't take you up on your offer of more birds - they are so easy to look after, and ten would have been no more work than four! All my neighbours want some hens now, too - and they are asking for more eggs than we can supply! We may be back in touch in the near future looking to expand our flock.

Thanks again for your hospitality, you and Margaret were both so kind to me (and the sandwich and cuppa were much appreciated!)   I would definitely recommend Happy Hen Hoose to my friends.

Regards..........Susan.....East Coast

Hi Gerald & Margaret,……..(31:08:08)

I hope this note finds you both well. Just a quick note to let you know our 6 ISA Warrens have settled in very well and we're now getting 4 eggs a day, with more suspected round the corner when the remaining 2 girls get in on the act! The Warrens are really lovely birds - curious, calm, bright-eyed and very friendly. Euan and Freya are constantly in the run and lifting the birds: they don't seem to bother at all!

Regards, The Murray Family........INVERURIE

Good Afternoon Gerald,...........( 04:09:O8)

Just a quick email to let you know how the layers i got from you on Thursday are doing, Great. A wee bit of pecking order thing going on with the chickens i have already but nothing too serious. I would advise anyone to have a few in their garden as they are so good it is unbelievable, next to nothing to feed, great to watch, the grandkids love them, and you get eggs into the bargain. I have attached a photo.

 

RegardsPete

22:08:08……..  Hi Gerald & Margaret ….a big thank you
 
It was great meeting you Gerald and we were sorry Margaret was otherwise engaged on our visits, we are delighted with the birds we got from you also the advice so freely given, we have already advised our niece to come to you when she gets her cube delivered(she fell in love with our ladies as soon as she saw them).
Good news is that today we got our first egg only 12 days after getting our ladies from you,these birds settled in immediately and are calm,contented and healthy a credit to how you take care of them.
Will keep you posted as time progresses.
Take care and continue the good work.
 
Regards

21:08:08......My chi1dren and I went over to "Happy Hen Hoose" to pick up some hens and expected it to be a quick handover before we were off again, boy were we surprised. We met two lovely people, who really cared about their chickens and give us some fantastic advice  on integrating the new hens with our existing ones. The kids absolutely loved it, especially after looking at some of the funkier looking hens, and were kept busy and interested at all times. They have spoken about nothing else since. We now have 5 lovely new hens, who are looking forward to keeping just as happy as the happy place they came from. A great experience and I will be returning again.

You were absolutely right regarding egg expectations. Thank you for all the helpful advice. And most of all for your reassuring comments.

By Wed.two eggs.My 8 yr. old daughter Abie is mesmorised with them and loves feeding, petting, holding them.As soon as they see us they come for treats.PERFECT HENS for US FIRST TIME POULTRY KEEPERS...I think we are hooked.Thanks again for your advice and support.

"Hi Gerald, ( Hy_Lines, bought mid FEB 08. )

Just a quick note to thank you for the excellent service and advice received when I recently purchased my POL. Hy-Line pullets from yourself. The birds settled in immediately and are enjoying foraging outside as I write this. They are a very docile, placid and friendly strain, just as you stated, and I cant wait until they start laying.Thanks for everything, and I will definitely recommend you to anyone wanting quality pullets. 

Regards, Mark.... Maud, Peterhead, Aberdeenshire. 

Hello Gerald and Margaret, ( Hy-Lines)

......our five lovely placid girls are settling in and doing well...they have the run of the whole garden and like nothing better than rummaging around eating slugs and slaters. We are thrilled with our little flock and look forward to some eggs.

from...Susan and John, Aberdeen.  (FEB. 08)

Hi Folks,  

A genuine thank you for the "Hyline Hybrid POL. layers", supplied by yourselves, We have never seen so friendly and placid birds as these are. Even after the journey home, the birds were so easy to handle. Thanks to you all for the advice given. Wishing you well in the future. We will be back for more.

......from Cath and John, (Nairn)

"Hy-Line Hybrid Strain", (25 feb 08) Since the purchase below, Callum has returned and purchased 15 x P.O.L. Hy-Line Brown Hardy Layers.......300+ EGGS, per year. 

Thought I would let you know that I am very happy with the blackrock chicks that I bought off you last week.

All the birds are very healthy and happy and keen looking. Will let you know how they progress.

From, Callum, ABERDEENSHIRE.

Dear Gerald and Margaret, “HAPPYHENHOOSE”

04.04.07     Hello there, can I say once again, thanks for all your help and advice regarding the black rocks that I picked up last weekend. They're lovely and a great waste of time ...as I love just sitting and watching them, honestly, I'm not getting much done!!

They all seem happy and growing fast. Just a quick question though, do chicks need access to grit? If not, when does it need introducing?

From, Paul and Sarah Cook, DUFFTOWN

04.04.07    To Gerald and Margaret at “happy hen hoose”...

The neighbours have all been trooping round to check them out and I think one or two of them are keen to join the Happy Chicken brigade - I'll point them in your direction...Great service from you guys, and very welcoming -.....thanks for that.

The chucks seem to be downing an awful lot of food (and spilling even more in their box!) so you may get a call for even more supplies at some point...They are growing fast and are now spreading their wings quite a bit,

From, Damian, ABERDEENSHIRE

15.04.07    Wonderful service and wonderful birds...the birds are healthy, lively and lovely.
(and a “follow up” order for bantams and layers)
From, JOHN and SALLY,GAMRIE.

15.04.07 ABSOLUTELY, TOP SERVICE. VERY HELPFUL. 

From, Arlene+ Pete, Rothienorman.

18.04.07    To Gerald and Margaret...A couple of years ago I decided to keep a few hens. After a scan through the small ads, “The Happy Henhoose” caught my eye.

I called ahead and after a thoroughly relaxed and interesting conversation I left with three hens and a cockerel.

Since then Margaret and Gerald have continued to provide excellent on-going advice and my hens remain happy, healthy and prolific layers of delicious eggs.

Just recently I returned to purchase some new hens. I find a visit to them at Potrknockie is not only all about chickens, but a good excuse to while away some time in excellent company.

From, Ally and Annie, INSCH.

18. 04.07     The 40 chicks (blackrocks) from your selves at “Happy Hen Hoose” are lovely.

Really, healthy and very happy.

The feathers are all in now, and they have lovely colouring. 

Absolutely delighted with the service...and especially, the good “follow up support”. 

We would happily recommend you to friends now and in the future.
 
From Murdo & Margaret.CAITHNESS...North of Scotland 

18.04.07
Thank you Margaret and Gerald, The quality of birds bought were absolutely OUTSTANDING!

Your friendliness and openness and help was very refreshing. 

From,Tony and Lisa, NEW PITSLIGO

18.04.07    The birds bought from you settled in very quickly. They are now laying very well...when they are not running round and round the garden. One insists on laying   her daily egg...on a box of nails in the garage. (She waits on us to open the door)

We are very happy with the service from yourselves....and the follow up support calls.
               
From, JENIFER, PLUSCARDEN.
 
18.04.07    Gerald and Margaret from “HAPPYHENHOOSE”....Just to let you know we are very happy with the hens bought from yourselves.

The birds are of first class quality and the hens continue to lay really fine eggs on a regular basis.
 
The service received from you, leading up to purchase, at the time of buying, and the service and support since has been excellent. We are happy and confident to recommend you, your service, and your poultry (and we do) to our friends.
 
(Karl and Ann bought laying hens on the Sunday of one week and were so delighted with them, they came back for more.)
