alaedw Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Alan went out to check on the chooks as usual...as Doris was lethargic all day yesterday and even had to pick her up to put her in the eglu.... anyway as being rather upset... we both would like to get another friend for Mabel so she does not get lonely.... our question is any breeders/farms in Leicestershire? We know we have to take Doris to the vets.....just waiting for them to open this morning. Thanks Sue and Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Really sorry to hear about Doris I don't know of any sellers of hybrids in Leicestershire (although I am sure there are some) but it might be worth ringing omlet to send you another (or even 2!). I hope the vet is able to tell you more about what happened to Doris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I agree with Snowy....ring Omlet as you had not had poor Doris for long at all. Am sorry to hear the news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hen Watch Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Hi Sue & Alan, Sorry to hear about Doris. Hope you have lots of fun with Flo. If you were pleased with the breeder you got her from, perhaps you could add them to the list of recomendations on this forum. It's a "Sticky: Where to buy chickens" topic and it's in the "Chicken FAQ" section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
