Title: Breeders near me (North Walsham)
Post by: JazzMan on May 07, 2020, 09:19

I am looking for a reputable breeder to purchase some chickens from and wondered if anyone here was able to provide any information. I live near North Walsham and ideally would want someone to deliver. I have had chickens in the past but we have recently acquired a small piece of land and would love to get a few hens again - so would my 2 daughters! They have their heats set on some Buff Orpingtons and Light Sussex which is causing me a problem as everywhere seems to be out of stock currently - can't guess why 😉 If you are knowing of anyone that could help I would really appreciate it.

I think you will find almost everyone has pretty much stopped breeding for now for obvious reasons. 

There is a list of suppliers on the main site here :

I have also found birds for sale on Preloved and Pets4Homes in the past.

It is not an essential though and I would consider waiting for now.  People should not be allowing you in to pick up birds or travelling to deliver them to you under the lock down.
