Lily Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hi There We'er looking at getting the Eglu Cube for 4 Orpington hens, the friendly staff at Omlet say this is most we should have to fit them comfortable. I may have been let down by a supplier of the hens and wondered if any one out there knew of a breeder in Yorkhire or the surrounding areas. (we are looking at 4 different colours, pref. Gold Lace, Blue, Cockoo and Buff but also like the Black & White) Hope someone can help as we are so looking forward to our new additions to the family (not sure if the dog and cat are though! ) Thanks On its way - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hello Lily and welcome to the forum. If you click here it will take you to the forum breeders guide. If you scroll down there is one breeder in Yorkshire. Good luck finding the Orps, they are beautiful. All the best C x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Can't help with breeders but wanted to say hello and welcome . Our dog has been fine with our girls - we introduced him to them while they were in the run, then kept him on the lead for the next couple of visits. Now he's scared of them and runs away if they run at him! Hope you manage to get some nice hens - post some piccies when you do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hi from another Yorkshire Omleteer. Try ...STORRS POULTRY... Situated at Oxpring. They sell Orpingtons. It is a bit off the beaten track, but they enjoy a good reputation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
