Hello, Can anybody recommend a bantam breeder around South Wales area, I have only found 2 to date, waiting to hear off one.

thanks

If you're prepared to come across the bridge for a bit of a drive, my favourite place around Bristol is Annie Hall's Poultry: https://anniehallspoultry.co.uk. They take really good care of their birds and vaccinate them etc., and the ladies that work there are always very helpful and friendly. If you decide to buy hens, they usually have carriers you can purchase too if you don't have your own.

They had lots of bantams when we went, although they only have a few breeds.

You can also have a nice lunch in one of the pubs on the way, and the scenery of the area is absolutely stunning; there's a really nice little church on the same site (if that kind of thing takes your fancy).

Another place you might try (although a bit further down the road than you may want as they're towards Chippenham) is Charlotte's Poultyhttp://www.charlottespoultry.com/bantams.php. I've never been but I've heard good things.

There's a young guy who breeds bantams (or used to) and he's only 15. If I remember correctly his was called Dan's Pecking Poultry or something like that - maybe try Google.

Another one around this way is Pipinchick: https://www.pipinchicksilkies.com which do a range of small breeds and bantams. I've never been, though.

Hope that helps. :)

Thanks AndyRoo, managed to get some Rhode Island reds and welsummer bantams from contacts of your suggestions. (Had difficulties trying to find what I was after)

Oh hoorah! Glad you found some you like.
