The Jazz Girls Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 We are in Norwich and went to the Henhouse in Thorndon, near Eye. The girls travelled beautifully in a large cardboard box (with air holes!) and a friend of ours who knows lots about hens has been very impressed with them. The website address is www.hen-house.co.uk Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluckbok Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Obviously depends how far in Norfolk you are but we went to the Hen House too, found them very knowledgable and friendly people. They had alot of different Hybrids to choose from as well as pure breeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ros Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 Hi, Thanks guys. I am in mid North Norfolk, I discovered 'hen house' a couple of days ago and they looked good. Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beanie3 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 We got our pol chickens from a farm on the a146. Between Norwich and Beccles. I am not sure what hybrids mean - but they are the typical battery egg laying hens - hope that helps. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ros Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 Thanks for the suggestions. We managed to get our girls on Sunday from Potters in Weybread, a bluebelle, Light sussex and a speckledy, all lovely my speckledy has a limp which is probably due to 'moving and handling'. Loving having them, they have settled beautifully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 If you're in North Norfolk, then ask Kate, she lives just 'over the border' and might know of a supplier not too far away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannahb Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Hi - I got my girls and my sis-in-laws from The Ark in Roughton, I live in Norwich and found that he is really good, down to earth guy but always happy to help with any newbie questions!
