smudgley Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 (edited) My husband finished making the chicken run & couldn't wait to get some chickens... so we had a day at the Domestic wildfowl trust in Honeybourne yesterday to have a look at the different breeds there, very nearly bought a Bluebell & a white star but when we came back from viewing all the chickens - they'd all been sold. So we went to Gloucester & got 4 goldlines. They are 15 weeks old. they look nice & healthy & seem friendly. We've had chickens from there before. We want to get a couple of light sussex too, but finding them really hard to get hold of. I love the buff sussex, but they are like gold dust! Will try & post some pictures of the girls later.... oh & they need names. Edited June 19, 2007 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Congratulations on the new girls You could name them after favourite book/tv/film characters, as you can see we have (Doctor Who) and the other two my eight year old daughter named (Dannii and Kylie) Flowers, islands, wine, food..... I could go on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Hiya - I visited Cotswold chickens last a week and a half ago and they had loads of light sussex, white stars, amber stars & 1 bluebell! It's situated on the banbury to Chipping Norton Road. About 4 miles out of Banbury on the right hand side - not easy to spot & it's a stud farm. Chickens very healthy & kept in spotless conditions in stables. I can recommend the place! Good luck! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom and Barbara Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I love the buff sussex, but they are like gold dust! I have a buff sussex that I'm looking to find a good home for - but I guess it's too far for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were literally on our doorstep - let me know if you're going back and you can pop over for tea and cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Awwww - I was desperate to just see some chickens whilst on holiday. Withdrawal symptoms. So hubby took me to Cotswold chickens to see some & whether it would be a good place to get our next ones from. I'd have loved to have popped in!
