POL Hens Hellllllllllllllllpppppppppppppppp!
« on: February 09, 2009, 20:17 »
So here I am all set up and raring to go - I thought buying POL hybrid nice looking friendly chickens would be easy! But oh no! Can anyone out there help a novice out?  I dont want much - just someone in the north tyneside or northumberland area who can sell me some light sussex, marron, warren hens?
If anyone can help I'd be extremely grateful.

Hi Gill

Welcome to the Hen House :)

Have you had a look through our poultry suppliers list here :

http://www.poultry.allotment-garden.org/poultry-suppliers/live-poultry-egg-supplier-england.php

Also magazines like Practical Poultry & country small holder have lists in the back of breeders in the uk :)
Csholder have a breeders list on line too :

There is one in Northumberland, if not exactly what you want maybe you could give them a ring see if they could help you in the right direction ???

Hope you manage to get some :)

Sarah :D

Hi Gill,
I live in Gateshead and got four of mine ( light sussex, pied sussex, marren and a black rock ) from a place in Ellington. I also bought a buff orpington, black rock and a rhode island red from a place in High Spen. If you want the little red hens, there`s a place near Birtley who sells them. Let me know if you need to know more.

I just had a couple of White Stars from the lad at Ellington, 30 weeks old and laying nicely. He also has Black Rocks just now and some blue egg layers (his own cross I think he calls them Northumberland Blue). He will have Marans in May - and I have my name on two of them! PM if you want his phone number and address.
3 o'clock is both too early and too late to start anything - Sartre said so.

Also there is the farm near Haydon Bridge whose name I have forgot - they do Black Rocks. And there is a Meadowsweet agent at Shincliffe in Durham, I got lovely pullets from them last summer - Black Star.

Thanks to everyone that has replied!  I've just got a Practical Poultry mag and am now in the process of going thru it.  I'll definately look at your suppliers list too!
Begining to think this is difinately a great idea as I thought and trying to ignore all the tutts from my colleagues and family!!!

Thanks Again
