Milo Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Hi All My first post here and really just looking for some advice on where to buy 3 hens. We live in North London (Finsbury Park) and have decided to go for 3 off the Miss Pepperpot Variety. Anyone know where the nearest place to get some of these are ? Having used the finder on this site it looks like the nearest breeder is near Oxford which is a bit of a trek for us. Any ideas ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Hi the Totteridge lane farm shop (Saturday opening only) only sells bog standard gingernut rangers if you couldnt get Miss P's. Probably someone one else might know - Hertfordshire might be best bet. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliec Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 how about thornes in Letchworth they have a good range, but still about thirty miles from you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I know a breeder in Beds/Bucks that has some proper Black Rock pullets - they are about 15 weeks ish Black Rocks are the hens that the Miss Pepperpot is trying to be - Black Rocks are rare in that they are a hybrid but are hardier and longer laying than the average hybrids. They are only produced by one hatchery in Scotland They are 'the ultimate hybrid' if you like I can pass your details on if you want to make contact - pm me if you do Just seen Julies post - Thornes are good and sell a hybrid similar to the Miss Pepperpot - their birds are healthy nice birds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheryl Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Look on the Bird Trader site.. and Google breeders in the South East..I know the farm in Totteridge I bought two birds there myself and they were very nice, but if you want fancy breeds, look on the computer..
