Stephen Jp

Thank you all for your input Today I had a meeting with the centre de emprego and they where of no help what so ever!!! So I will keep looking but not expecting help ....

Thanks Jay, I am happy to have your hello
It does give a sense of being a part of things rather than just someone outside looking in

Thank you
Stephen

Thanks Leila, sorry if I came across badly but was beginning to think I was being ignored as a newby to the site

It was a post from a Portuguese member that got me interested in this forum to start with, hence my confidence to start with

I will check in again tomorrow

I must say I am some what disappointed!!! 28 views so far and no comments at all, not even a hello back!!! In 6 hours it would be nice to have had one hello at least.... :

I would recommend you start with shelter for your intended flock!!! I would also suggest that you start them off in an enclosure to a) be safe till they are adults and able to fend or flee b) so that they know where home is c) so that they get into the habit of laying their eggs where you can find them

Hello all, first let me introduce myself. My Name is Stephen and I have just joined the forum

I am English but live in the Algarve, Portugal. I have kept chickens for years but have now diversified and plan to expand. My problem at the moment is getting information, although I speak Portuguese my level of reading and writing in Portuguese is very low.

I wondered if anyone would be able to point me in the right direction with regard to the rules , regulations and any support available to assist me in the next stage of developing my poultry farm
??

At this moment I have 4,000 square metres of agricultural land of which I have 1,000 sq mtrs set up for my flocks of Ducks, Guinea Fowl, Chickens and Quails, all of which are in their own areas with their own housing etc

I await any response with much hope

Stephen JP
