BLACK ROCKS NEEDED
« on: September 24, 2014, 13:57 »
I have been searching for black rock hens for awhile now. I live in the Newcastle Upon Tyne area and was just wondering if anyone knew any suppliers or breeders. Trying to get them for the 15th October for my dads birthday :) Any suggestions would be grateful :)

Thanks

Black Rocks are a hybrid hen and I may well be mis-remembering but I think you need a licence from the original breeder to sell them. Have you tried Googling them? Also more likely to be available Spring/early summer. :)
Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted!!

Get in touch with Eddie Lovett the breeder.

R. & A. Lovett
Crosslee Poultry Farm
Bridge of Weir
Renfrewshire
PA11 3RQ

Tel:  01505-613075
Fax:  01505-613154
email:  eddie@ralovett.co.uk

He will be able to tell you if he has a licensed seller near you.  Sassy is right, Eddie and his family are now the only people that breed the proper Black Rock.  There are loads of imitations, I know because I used to breed the same cross, but they weren't black rocks.

Eddie has a list of licensed sellers.  Good Luck.  he is also on Facebook, but nto good at answering queries on there!
