Ambulance Girl Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Hi, Has anyone had any dealings or bought chickens from henhousepoulty in Maidstone.

MaggieMcHen Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I bought 7 from them last Sunday. They are lovely clean, bright, calm 17 week olds. Ben is very knowledgable and obvioulsy really loves his hens. He has all sorts of colours of hybrids including blue/green egg layers, he also has bantams and Orpingtons. One of the ones |I bought is a skyline - I will await her first egg with interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfrock Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Ben is my guru and I cannot recommend him highly enough. A big difference to my recent experience at a pure breed place further up the country. He is a lovely man and what he doesn't know about chickens isn't worth knowing. His son Jordan is fast following in his father's footsteps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
