Grovefarm Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hi all, Does anyone know of any breeders in berkshire/oxfordshire. I am looking to get around 6 pullets ( no cockerals as I already have one), to take residence in my new hen house my parents bought me for my 30th birthday. I have been looking at cotswoldchickens.co.uk and the will have one sort next thursday but I would like a mix if poss. also thegardenhen has some but at £25 each which I think is a rather steep. Any advice would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hi, I have bought several from The Garden Hen, & would highly recommend them. Simon is a mine of knowledge, & a nice chap.He often doesn't have much in (I know he has some adorable baby Auracanas which will be ready soon) so its worth giving him a ring. He does have a lot of variety though.....you should be able to get a nice mixture. Its not the best time of year for chicken shopping,I am afraid Or try any local Medowsweet agent who should have a variety of hybrids in stock, or coming soon.There are several in the area if you google Medowsweet. Where abouts are you from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grovefarm Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 we live around the wallingford/goring area, about 5 miles from reading and 25 miles from oxford so pretty much sit right on the oxfordshire/berkshire border line. thanks for you ideas I shall have a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 We use Cotswold Chickens and she usually has all the Meadowsweet hens - probably just the time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
