Jemimapuddleduck Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hello folks, Can anyone recommend a good place to go for some POLs in Aberdeenshire? We are looking for Black Rocks in particular, but know that there are so many places that are selling fakes, or worse-still unhealthy and poorly ones. I would be SO grateful for your advice! Thanks everyone, xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaT Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hi, I haven't actually used these http://akpoultry.com/ but I did speak to/email them when I was looking for my first chickens and they were very helpful. If they're not too far away you could always go and check them out. The only reason I didn't use them in the end was the distance. Good luck with your search and let us know how you get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hi, am in a bit of a hurry right now but I know that several Aberdeen breeders advertise in the back pages of practical poultry. If I gat the chance later I'll post details. Cheers, Alli x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jemimapuddleduck Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Managed to find an approved agent for Black Rocks in Fife. A bit of a drive, but worth it for top quality birds. Very, very excited now! 10 weeks to go til we bring home our girls! Yippee!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggasperated Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Hope you don't mind me asking Jemima - is it Melvyn Waters? I was wondering whether he has any other hybrids or only Black Rocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
