Mrs Frugal Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Westaway Poultry Farm 8a Reeves Lane Wing Oakham LE15 8SD 01572 737310 http://www.westawaypoultry.co.uk/index.html I've not used them yet because they didn't have any Sussex POL in stock when I phoned but very helpful indeed and not that far from the Leics/Northants border.

Amanda newbie Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Is Desborough Farm Park the same place as West Lodge Rural Centre? I was considering getting two more chicken. Do you know much about them as a breader? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 You know me so well! Apart from Merrydale, the only other one I've used is Julia at Warwickshire Rare breeds: http://www.warwickshirerarebreedfarm.co.uk/ Give her a ring first, she has some beautiful birds. The Desborough Farm Park (yes it is West Lodge) breed chicks for display for children, then sell them on. From what I could see they are all the Gingernut ranger type, sex linked RIR/sussex hybrids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
