MummyHen Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I got my 6 from Ben, but I was also recommended CAPRALAMA http://www.capralama.freeserve.co.uk/ and High Down http://www.highdownpoultry.co.uk/Poultry%20Prices.htm both are near Ashford Good luck with your search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellykelly Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I wasn't too keen on capralama myself. The birds are mega expensive and kept in quite small runs. You could have a look at the ads on preloved, there's a few sellers on there. Just be wary of a lady that keeps her chickens in Lenham. I had a pants experience with her.

Seagazer Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Is Ruxleys in Sidcup too far to go? I got my Bluebelle and Light Sussex x from there and they are the most friendly and inquisitive girlies. They were £18. They had some ginger and white ones and a couple of speckeldy type ones when I was up there on Friday as well as 1 Bluebelle. I think they change the stock quite quickly. Its a garden centre too and has a coffee shop so you could have a little pootle around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seagazer Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 That's the one. They are out the back behind the pet part of the store. They've only been there since April and as I say they seem to have quite a quick turnover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
