Lorax Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Hello, I'm relatively new to the forum, so do hope I'm posting in the right place. I live in Sudbury, Suffolk. Barbara at Omlet has sent me the Guide to buying chickens and also a list of breeders, but none of them she has personal experience of and I wondered IF there was anyone out there who lived in Suffolk who had bought chickens and could recommend some good breeders? I'd be super grateful. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Webmuppet Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 You could try the Hen House at Thorndon near Eye off the A140 . Lovely selection of chickens and they are well looked after. They have a website. The owner is really knowlegable and you can phone them up if you have any concerns about the health of your chooks.

katieandnick Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Hiya- you're not far from the Essex border, so try Kirsty at hens4homes (www.hens4homes.co.uk). She's near Dunmow, so not far from you. We got our Speckledys and White Stars from her, and they're fab! Or if you fancy a trip to Cambridge, try Cambridge Poultry (www.cambridgepoultry.co.uk) - they're in Bottisham.

cluckbok Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 We recommend The Hen House at Thorndon, Eye, Suffolk aswell. Really friendly people and very helpful, especially if you are a first timer. Loads of birds to choose from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
