megalin Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 As the name suggests I want to see if anyone has got chooks from Thornes before http://www.thornespoultrycentre.co.uk/about_us.html They look nice to me, would anyone recommend them? Sometimes you just don't know (Like perfect poultry!) Megalin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chookwhisperer Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I got my hybrid hens from Thornes in August. Frank the hen man was full of good advice and helped no end, although I did come out with three rather than the two I went for. There was lots of choice and they all seemed very healthy & lively. The runs were in good nick and very clean. I have since registered the girls with an experienced hen vet and she commented on how healthy they all were. There is a good selection of hen bits & pieces to buy there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I'd also thoroughly recommend them, extremely knowledgeable, nice stock and tidy set up Check out my 'National Results' thread, the father of the cockerel in the pics came from Thornes!!!
