After the worries of the past 12 months, it is reassuring to know that there are few issues relating to the supply of this year’s pheasant eggs, chicks and poults. Barring any major outbreaks of avian influenza, there will be enough birds to go round. Partridge poults are still in relatively short supply, but they are there. While it is unlikely there will be a surplus, game farmers should still be able to fulfil their orders, even if the birds are a week or two late.
If you are going to give a repeat order to the people who supplied your poults last season, then all well and good, although I would advise you to do it sooner rather
