Bouncy Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Hi Guys Anyone got any useful info as to where we can get 4 bantums to Occupy our eglu that we have just purchased we are new to all this but eager to learn, Janty on the forum has already been an inspiration and eggstreamly helpful We have a 13 year old and a 5 year old so thought Bantums would be a good option?? Any thoughts or comments most welcome such as breeds etc. Much thanks Bouncy & Timcho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Hi and welcome! Don't know much about banties I'm afraid, mine are all big girls! Very friendly and loads of eggs Banties look gorgeous though - very pretty! Make sure to let us know what you get, and we love pictures.

sparkleeeeee Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 hi welcome to the forum try fritton poultry she has bantams, i got my polands from her. its a lovely place. there is a breeder near me that had some frizzles a few weeks ago. you have to be cautious about the bird flu restrictions in norfolk and suffolk as you cant take birds out of the zone. you will love poultry keeping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Where in Norfolk are the frizzles? We lost ours (Nigella) and I would love another one. Hello Bouncy, by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyirons Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 hi, bantams are good, but for kids I'd go for hybrids to start with. More docile and generally friendly the hybrid birds from omlet are great, there is a black rock breeder near the suffolk/norfolk border, let me know if you want the details, they have pre-layers about now for £7.50!!
