stehaggan Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I have finally found out the name of the hen I once saw and REALLY liked. I have found out now they are a rare breed so I was wondering if anyone knows anywhere that sells them? they are blue laced wynadottes. - here is a picture.

craftyhunnypie Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) The Wernlas collection near to Ludlow. A nice day out. Not cheap, but excellent birds! I think Victoria's Poultry may sell them too. There may be some on Preloved. There is often a seller around Leigh that has a wide range of nice birds.

craftyhunnypie Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I had my gold laced Wyandotte from Wernlas nearly 3 years ago. She is a lovely stocky lass, but as broody as hell! Good luck with your search, they are stunning! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stehaggan Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 OOOO i have just spoken to the lady there she has three pullets Now to work on OH to let us go and have a nosey on sunday lol x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 They are worth every penny from Wernlas. Nice to go for a bit of lunch or cake & coffee in Ludlow first, then get your chickens. Some nice places near the castle / market place. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franki Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I have two blue-laced Wyandottes. They are lovely, so inquisitive and everyone comments on how beautiful they are. I got them from Widgits (http://www.widgits.co.uk/about_us.html) last year but as this is in Berkshire it may be a little far for you to come!

The Dogmother Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Lovely birds. Redwing will know of a contact, why not PM her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweety Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I got my BLW from Wernlas too - she's a gorgeous girl, as all their chickens seem to be, gentle and chatty - and very broody. Wernlas is a great day out but you will be very tempted to come home with more than you had planned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franki Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I'm attempting to attach pics of my girls. 1st time! They're a bit big (the pictures) but not sure how to change them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 They're such pretty chickens Franki Arghhh i shouldn't come on this forum, I reallly want a bigger chicken house now!! Ste how is your chicken doing? Is she still living with you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 They arent rare as such just quite hard to find and often pricey When breeding blue laced you get a combination of blue, gold and buff laced chicks so if you hatch 100 chicks about 33 of these in theory will be blue laced, 50% of those will in theory be boys so that explains why they arent easy to come by and they are so pretty and in demand so these things combined makes them quite pricey! Steve at Cheshire Poultry has some very nice laced Wyandottes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stehaggan Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Hey Sam, no she's not living with us still shes recovered really well thank god - Shes back in the WIR but in the red eglu and it's run so she can still see her sisters etc but they can't peck her wound - it's really healed well. I've taken then next 4 days off so I think I can tempt OH to let me go and get some wynadottes I saw them ageeees ago and didn't know their name and could never find them on google images Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
