allyson Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 i rang Omlet after i had ordered my Eglu and they emailed me the details of my nearest breeders. i live in Wakefield and my nearest breeder was just down the M1 off junction 37 called Storrs Poultry and i have to say they were brilliant! All the livestock they had was very well cared for and healthy and my 3 chickens i got from there are gorgeous. I think they stock ducks too. I know there is also a breeder in Keighley but having not been there i don't know what they are like. It is best to ring the breeder before you go, Omlet supply phone numbers.

Hen Watch Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Hi. I have a green eglu too. You will have great fun choosing chickens, it will be hard not to get carried away as they are all lovely. Have you looked at this post on the forum yet. http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4658 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
