jeshen Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Does anyone have any lemon cuckoo pekins for sale? I have 2 pekins at the moment (black and lavender) and would feel happier to have 4 altogether so that there's not the risk of one being left on its own. I live in N Shropshire but would be prepared to travel a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I'd try Andy, ChickenStreet who's in Oswestry. I hatched some of his Lemon Cuckoo pekins in the summer and they were really nice, he's a nice guy too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeshen Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Thanks! Have actually tried Andy but he's only got black ones at the moment. Quite fancy a lemon cuckoo if anyone has one going! Are there any other colours of pekins? (Have not been a chickeneer for long!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Theres loads of colours of pekins I've got Buff Columbian, Red, Red Pyle and Lavendar at the moment - had black and mottled before too! Have a look if there are any *here* Did you know The Federation show is in Stafford in a few weeks (17th + 18th Dec) and there is a sales pen there ... likely to be some pekins in there or be breeders you can talk to!

austele_1 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Oh Andy is lovely, as is his family. Really helped me the other week to try and find a new pekin cockerel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffy chick Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I love pekins too! I have a partridge which is beautiful, also a lavender, wheaten and mottled. I need a pair of millefleur next There is a forum/website dedicated to pekins, there are loads of breeders listed there.

jeshen Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Many thanks - very helpful info! Hadn't realised that there were so many colours available. Federation Show sounds a good idea! Yes, Andy Cawthray is brilliant - he started me off with the 2 I've already got. Would certainly recommend him to anyone : www.chickenstreet.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Hi this chap has pekins in every colour possible: http://www.cottagegardenchickens.co.uk/ I bought my hens from him earlier this year and they're all in excellent condition and were very fairly priced. He's near Bridgenorth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
