Omlet cube and run

[clucker1]

Does anyone know if you can collect chickens direct from Omlet ie pick them up from their shop in Oxfordshire or whereever it is. I was thinking this would knock off the delivery fee if I can tie it up with doing something that way, perhaps a trip to a garden centre which is supposed to be amazing near them. Can't remember what it is called though. Or could get OH to collect them on way back from a meeting up north.

I got my first girls -2 Gingernut Rangers and 2 Pepperpots from Buttercup farm near Dorking and they were lovely girls. A lot nearer to deepest Surrey than Oxford.

 

I've since been back and had other hybrids from her too

Thanks for that OhCarolina. A friend of mine tried that chicken supplier a couple of times several years ago and turned up twice for an appointment and there was never anyone there. So, good to get some positive feedback. I am specifically after pepperpot type girls. My present Omlet one is 3 years old, still laying well at the moment and I just want to look at topping up sometime this Summer. I really love the colours of the pepperpot. I have used Southmead Poultry for other new chickens to my flock, just very impressed with how beautiful and fabulous the Omlet pepperpots are though.

I had my three original from Omlet and my miss Pepperpot is Clover 2 and a half now and is just gorgious and top chick .Lays most days still and touch wood and fingersa crossed not a sign of any illness ,broodiness or any thing and we love her to bits.

Hybrid chickens will have come from a company that rears chickens on an industrial scale and there will be literally tens of thousands of these for sale all around the UK under different 'brand' names and they shouldnt be hard to find, Try Surrey Poultry perhaps, they are Omlet forum members so will probably be familiar with the Pepperpot

 

The last time I went to the Omlet HQ they did have chickens on site so I guess in theory its probably possible to collect but best give them a call to ask

Thank youboth for that. My Pepperpot had me in stitches this afternoon, she is so so nosy. She is Headgirl and always wants to know what I am doing on HER land. I mean, just clearing the poo away, but the LOOK I get, you would think it is a criminal offence! Must try Surrey Poultry, had forgotten about them. One of my customers recommended them to me as well.
