kevtheplumber Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Anyone have a reccomendation, just rang giles wilson they havent got anything but rhode islands, and the rest that come in 2 weeks will only be 17 weeks. Might sound weird but had the eglu all set up for 3 weeks now and just wanna get some chickens in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hi, Omlet have a list of recommended breeders which might be of use. You could also get a copy of Practical Poultry magazine, which contains a breeder's directory covering all areas of the country. Good luck - hope you find some girls to fill that empty eglu very soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egzandra Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 If you feel like a trip down the A1 you could try Thorne's Garden Nursery, Stotfold Road, Letchworth Garden City, Herts, SG6 4JR. I have not bought chickens from them but on looking around their chickens are clean and well kept and they appear to have a variety of chickens. (Haven't been lately, though). Ring first on 01462 675767 or e-mail karllaming@hotmail.com to see what they have got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) Another local Chook owner!! HELLO!!! I wonder if you are close enough to hear my girls My girls came from Great Yarmouth and Fulbourn, Cambs. I was going to say Thornes but there is also http://www.northendhens.co.uk/index.htm in Bletsoe, Beds. I have not been to this supplier but i know Indie99 another fourm member got her chooks from there recently. Chicken supplies are much easier to get hold of locally Edited August 5, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheik Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Nice to see some fellow St Neotians on here. There are various chicken keeping threads on our town website. We've bought feed from Ibbets in Great Paxton but use Thorne's now as our chickens weren't keen on it. We got our chickens from Thorne's, it's about a 20 minute drive from town : http://www.thornespoultrycentre.co.uk/ We also use Frontier Pet Supplies on the A1 to get aubiose for their run (horse bedding). It's on the way to Thorne's so we tend to do both in a single trip (with an occasional stop off at the Chinese supermarket also on that stretch of the A1 for roast duck ). /\dam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baxter Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Ahh, im only down the road from St Neots! There is a breeder of Bantams in Bolnhurst, the main drag B660. They normally have a sign up advertising bantams and eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
