My partridge Pekin is broody she was the last to come into lay and the first to be broody! :nowink:
I don't have a cockerel but would quite like to put a few eggs under her and see what happens! Could anyone suggest somewhere where I can get fertile bantams from - ideally pure breeds?

Try poultry swap pages here - or check the poultry breeders lists - some of them list hatching eggs or I have this page bookmarked as a just in case

Melton Mowbray livestock market have loads too!!!!

I live very near Melton, but I work on Tuesday so I can't go then, the next Saturday auction isn't until May 3rd and she may have stopped being broody by then. I'll have a look at the sites you have suggested - thank you :)

I can let you have a few araucana eggs (have proved to be 100% fertile this year) if you want :)
