Olly Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Whereabouts in London are you - e.g. East, North, South-East? You're more likely to find a supplier on the borders, although Pets at Home do sell Layers Pellets I don't know if they do chick supplies.

Egluntyne Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 If you are planning to make your own brooder, I would suggest that you have it up and running at least 24 hours before the chicks are due to hatch, so that you can be sure it is working. Some advice here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmastar Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 And some bantams can hatch on day 19 ! look on ebay for an indoor rabbit cage i picked my last one up for £10 and you can also buy most things on there too . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplemaniacs Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Thank you, I was thinking of going for a large one, not as posh as the one you have Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
