welshnik Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Hi We have set up our Eglu, got our food and bark and glug and grub etc etc sorted and now just need some hens! We like the thought of Black Rock and Leghorns....... Any S Wales hen owners able to advise? welshnik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Welcome to the forum, Welshnik . Congratulations on getting your eglu . I'm just going to move this into "Chickens" as this is more a looking for unwanted items section. You should get more answers in "Chickens" .

PurpleTree Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Hi, we got our Black Rocks from the Black Rock, South Wales Agent listed here http://www.theblackrock.co.uk/Black_Rock_Hen_Agents.html. He was a really nice guy, knowledgeable and happy to give advice. Haven't had any problems with them so far. Where in South Wales are you?

Space Chick Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I bought my girls from a breeder in Powys called Penrhiwgarn Poultry they were really helpful (Postcode NP8 1LL Telephone Number 01874 730883) Hey, vicpow and welshnic - I'm trying to organise a South Wales meet. Where are you both, and would you be up for a meet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshnik Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 Hi and thanks to all for the info! We'd certainly be up for a S Wales meet, as would my sis in law, who we mentioned an Eglu to and now has 5 hens and is going chicken crazy....! Let you know our progress welsh_nik xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meezers Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I bought my girls from a breeder in Powys called Penrhiwgarn Poultry they were really helpful (Postcode NP8 1LL Telephone Number 01874 730883) Hey, vicpow and welshnic - I'm trying to organise a South Wales meet. Where are you both, and would you be up for a meet? I'm fairly certain that's where I got my first 6 chooks from, I know it was a name I couldn't pronounce in a place I couldn't pronounce, but not far from Crickhowell ? If so I would recommend them. They had lots to choose from ( mostly hybrids ) and have all been healthy and laying well ( except for the Bluebelle who is still on strike ).
