Nearly got morehenitus at Temple Newsam (Leeds)

Recommended Posts

Having been stuck in the house all week after a knee op :cry: , my OH suggested a hobble down to my favourite wood/park/farm area in Leeds. For people outside of Leeds, Temple Newsam has a rare breed farm and to my enjoyment, they have a nice selection of Chickens roaming around.

 

My Dad who volunteers every so often there told me that they had some chickens and guinea fowl for sale, so what better excuse than to check them out.

 

I am sad to say that resisted (so far) but as there doesn't seem to be too many breeders in Leeds (to my limited knowledge anyway), I thought I would share the info.

 

They have quite a few of the following for sale all at £15 each and I think all Pullets:

 

Araucana

Marsh Daisy

Scots Dumpy

Dumpy x Sussex

Naked necks (I think)

 

Cockerels at £15:

Naked Neck

Ixworth

Marsh Daisy

 

Some Turkeys at £20 :shock:

 

I am hoping some Old English Pheasant Fowl come on the scene next year as they look beautiful.

 

Hope this is of help to others. I can vouch for their conditions, they are all loved animals in there.

We've had a couple of Omlet get togethers at Temple Newsam, you must join us next time!

They also sell fertilized eggs.... all very tempting!

 

The Scots dumpies may be the children of my cockerel, Dougal, and the Marsh Daisey chooks will certainly be the children of our lovely cockerel - Fiorello! I covet their TNNs!

 

The farm manager, Shelley, is a PCGB judge and poulty specialist with a very strong line in Croad Langshans, as well as being a lovely woman.

I thought she knew her stuff when I spoke to her a few months ago. Well done Dougal and Fiorello, some lovely offspring on show. :clap:

 

When is the next gathering? it would be great to meet up.
