Wantchooks Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Can anyone recommend anywhere in Kent near to Rochester/Maidstone(ish) where I can get all the various bits and pieces of the starter list? Or is it vastly cheaper to buy on line? Two weeks and counting til the arrival of the WIR and chooks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kentwitch Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 We live in Rainham and get most of our Chicken supplies from a firm called Lillico who are based in Aylesford. They are very helpful and have given us lots of chicken advice. Do not get carried away like we have have spent a fortune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimnpaula Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I too suggest Lillico's, and Pets at home near Rochester airport do a line of chicken things. Tara lives in Strood and may be able to offer other suggestions. (have a look at the members list and send her a private message if she doesn't spot this thread.)

jellykelly Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Capralama is very expensive for chickens (i think anyway). We went there over xmas as they have a reindeer centre too. The prices were around £40 upwards. Lovely birds though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
