jomaxsmith Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I was at Thornes (nr Letchworth, Herts) this morning and mentioned that people are having trouble getting blue egg layers. Apparently their next batch is coming in TONIGHT. It would definitely be worth ringing them before you travel as they sell out of hybrids really fast.

superjules Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Thanks for the tip Jo , I've just texted my friend who's hoping to get some chooks very soon. My skylines I got from Thorne's are lovely girls and lay beautiful eggs. I was lucky enough to get one laying blue eggs and one laying green. They are completely daft chooks though and can't find the door to their own run, bless them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisymay Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Hi I've just phoned thornes and they said they have no blue egg layers until August. Maybe they are keeping a secret supply for very select people!! I am determined to get a blue egg layer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomaxsmith Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 Sorry about that - maybe Karl misheard me and was talking about his next batch of ordinary hybrids as he had just told me that the last lot sold out in 5 days. I was surprised they were getting any as I believe they are supplied by Glencroft and I had read on here hadn't currently got any. Sorry to get your hopes up Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhotchick Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Sorry to get your hopes up Jo I wouldn't worry. We know you had the best intentions and a good heart. I want a blue egg layer one day, and will be asking for tips nearer the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daisymay Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 sorry...new to the quote thing! meant to say don't worry as I think they are so wanted by everyone some of the suppliers are getting mixed up. Tanks for the tip though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris70 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Damn - just phoned - and I too got the no blue egg layers for about another 3 weeks. Makes sense though - as I only got the new girls on friday - and they didn't mention them then - even though he knows I want them. Just have to wait another few weeks..... just when I get one pecking order sorted, it'll be time for another one........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
