Henslaved Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Does anyone know of any breeders of these birds, as I would love a couple of pullets to add to my flock but can't seem to source a breeder that isn't a 5hr round trip . Am also looking for some Wyandotte Bantams, but that's another story . Many thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Show breeders will travel the country a bit so it's worth asking if they get up north to a show where you could go and collect them There is a breeder near me that may go to the Derbyshire Championship show in Bakewell if that's any use?

Henslaved Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 That would be most helpful if they do go to the Derbyshire show. I would quite happily collect a couple of pullets from there . I did try to contact a breeder who shows his Cuckoo Maran Bantams, but was told he doesn't sell any . Maybe he thought I was competition .

Sue Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Why not join The Marans Club - there are some good breeders who specialize in Marans bantams. Its only £6 to join, and the Year Book each year lists the members. Marans Club President - Ken Nash is a good person to ask about Marans bantams.

The Dogmother Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Good luck with your search; I have two - lovely big girls and stonking layers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
