chelsea Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 just seen in our local paper. Rare Breed lavendar Batams (pairs) Cockerels and hens. FREE. In North Devon area if anyone interested. I dont know much about batams, so am just posting what the advert says! I did mention to hubby "oh free chickens??"...but it fell on deaf ears pm me if you want me to send you the link to the local paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I wonder if they are pekins - that's the usual breed for lavenders. Like my Lavinia . They are beautiful birds and I'd recommend them to anyone, but I'd be wary if they are being given away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 oops - missed this - i'm in the right area but not in the market for any bantams - maybe once I get my Mark 3 I'm not too wary of free hens in these parts - I have a lot of hen keeping friends who do offer "unexpected arrivals" free to good homes from time to time.

ubereglu Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I wonder whether Mel and Paul read this. I know that they wanted some more bantams! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
