Chickvic Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 We are looking to expand our flock next year and we would like some different breeds. DD is desperate for a lavender chicken of some sort. We have looked on the Omlet list and googled but there doesn't seem to be much that comes up. Has anyone got a recommendation within a couple of hours drive? We are also getting a next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkspurs Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I haven't any experience with these folk but I was looking for a local supplier for stalosan F and ran across them. maybe you can give them a call, they have a selection of birds. http://www.purelypoultry.co.uk/Home.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 These two might be within reach for you: http://www.warwickshirerarebreedfarm.co.uk/'>http://www.warwickshirerarebreedfarm.co.uk/ http://www.warwickshirerarebreedfarm.co.uk/ They both have pure breeds as well as the usual hybrids so always worth ringing to see what they have available first. And both are highly recommended! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 There are a few within easy travelling distance. http://www.oakmeadowfarm.co.uk/home.htm http://www.merrydalepoultry.co.uk/ http://www.cotswoldchickens.co.uk/ http://www.thechickengarden.com/ www.domesticfowltrust.co.uk/ Most provide hybrid hens.

Snowy Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I've just re read my earlier post and realised I posted 2 links to Warwickshire Rare Breeds. One was meant to be to Merrydale Poultry. Sorry! Looks like Warwickshire RB is winding down though, doesn't seem to have much stock, or appear to have any plans for any in the future.

kez Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Oh no, I was planning to get two more in the Spring from Warwickshire Rare Breads Farm as they are very close to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Warwickshire Rare Breeds will only be selling hybrids in the near future and are selling off all their breeding stock at the minute. Some beautiful birds to be had if you don't mind having a cockeral too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
