Geoid Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Are you typing in your postcode on the box on the right hand side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blottedcopybook Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 Are you typing in your postcode on the box on the right hand side? Yes I did, but the list of birds for sale was nationwide and there didn't seem to be any way to sort by distance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I've never used it but have had a go to see if I can help . Are you looking at the map when you type in your postcode? When I do that, green markers show up round the area I live in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I do that, green markers show up round the area I live in. Yes, the map was to the left of the postcode box and when I tried to click on anyone near me it gave me a list of what was available for sale. I clicked on one of the listings (for orpingtons) and the list at the bottom gave me every orp available rather than the one I clicked on? I'm in Glasgow and there seems to be a dearth of hens around here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I wonder if it's because there's none for sale near you? Have you looked at the Omlet Breeders list? I can vouch for George Ogilvie. Neither of them are that close to you but you could try Eddie Lovatt or have a read through this thread on Scottish breeders. Good luck .

sparkysmum Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Hi & welcome to the forum I don't know what breeds you are after but Doune Traditional Poultry have a good reputation locally and don't forget the ads in the back of Practical Poultry. Hope you find what you're looking for. Alli x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
