igobarefoot Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Hi - has anyone had any experience with Cosyhens breeder in Monmouthshire? A bit of a trek for me but they breed Sussex and Marans (my faves) so happy to make the journey if they come recommended... Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Contact the club for the breed you want Igobarefoot. They will have a register of breeders. You have to call them English Marans now I was told. Marans is a native French breed and they are very upset that the English claim to be breeding them. Bit like Rhode Rocks being sold as genuine Blackrocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LottyJ1 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Hello, Yes I have lots of experience with them and they are excellent! I have had both Marans and Plymouth Rocks from they and they are lovely birds. I also use their hen hotel all the time and Peter and Glenda are amazing. Great for advice also. I would highly recommend their services and chickens. This is my Black Plymouth Rock from them. Big Flo - she is such a funny girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igobarefoot Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 That's useful info, thanks Beantree. Ooh Big Flo looks gorgeous! I do love a striking black hen Great news LottyJ1, thanks for the positive feedback on them, just what I was hoping for. Peter replied back really quick and was very helpful and friendly so I had a good feeling about them. They breed a lot of my favourites so I suspect I may have an attack of the old Morehens Disease when I visit!! Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LottyJ1 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 You will defo have more hens disease. When i drop mine off for the hen hotel i have to not look! The alpacas they have are also beautiful. I just wish I had an acre or two! Good luck choosing. My next batch from them will include defiantly another Marans and possible either another Plymouth rock or faverolles.
