The Dogmother Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Try looking at both, last I heard, the Domestic Fowl Trust wasn't so good again. But as I said, only hearsay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Wernlas definitely. I get my new girls from there in less than a fortnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I recently went to Wernlas and bought a Gold Legbar and Wernlas Olive they were 9 weeks old when I got them, I also bought a stunning Appenzeller They also had cream legbars there I am really pleased with the chooks and the couple who run Wernlas were very helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meezers Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 You can reserve chooks at Wernlas- handy if they've only got very young chooks, when I enquired at the DFT, they told me to just keep phoning back to see if what I wanted was in stock.

*mummy_hen* Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I am very interested in the replies in this post. Both are about an hour from me and i had enquired at the DMT about silkies...however reading the response i may contact Wernlas as am not planning to add to my flock (of one) until later in the year.

catherinee99 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 We went to Wernlas a couple of weeks ago and they had a few cream legbars who were lovely. My Mum bought a wernlas olive, a welbar and a brown leghorn. all fantastic specimens. They were also very helpful when she phoned today with some queries. Plus its a lovely place to go and see all the different breeds. Mine from there are beautiful specimens- far nicer examples than I have seen at some auctions.

I agree they are fantastic and very healthy looking/bright eyed and the handling by the staff there is really impressive and competant Its set on a hill so no high heels unless you want to break your leg!
