Leicestershire? Sal and I are looking at getting another 2 sisters for Scramble (Gingernut) and Poach (Miss Pepperpot), perhaps a bantam silkie (Will be called Brian), and another one yet to be chosen (maybe called Stewie)

 

1) would this make an ok mix with the proper introductions.

 

and

 

2) Does anyone know of any reputable breeders in and around Leicestershire where we might be able to go and have a look at some.

 

Thank you all for your time.

**Merrydale Poultry** enjoys an excellent reputation.

I agree with Egluntyne - Merrydale are great -we got our first three girls from there, and they are fab - Karen is lovely and is happy to give you any info and answer all your questions - even daft ones!

Cookie and I popped into Merrydale weekend before last and I was very impressed.

 

Apart from a handful of mottled cochins and RIR I didn`t see any other pure breeds for sale. Might be worth a phone call...but if you are local them just go for a look and to stock up on all things chook

We got our original girls from Karen at Merrydale and went back last year for some more. Her birds are really well looked after and she is always willing to answer questions and give advice.

Merrydale is excellent for all sorts of hybrids, and they're all vaccinated, too. But if you want purebreeds, have a look at the Welland Valley Feed website poultry ads - they tend to include smaller breeders, etc. around Leicestershire.

Also, try Westaway poultry - they're a well known local breeder of bantams - and have lots of other breeds, too.

They're located in...wait for it... Wing ( true!) in Rutland.

Wow, I never knew there is a poultry breeder based in Wing... that's just down the road from me! (Obviously not well advertised locally?!?!)

 

Interested to see they stock bedding and feed too, so I must go and have a look.
