Where sells happy chicks in Durham?

Hi everyone I'm new to this site but I think it might be the very thing I need!!  I'm very lucky to be being given an Omlet Eglu chicken house and am looking to buy our first three chickens in a couple of weeks - but I don't know where to get them from near Durham! 

I have found Meadowsweet near me but I contacted them and they seemed reluctant to give me any advice or information so I've given up on them really.  I would like to get my chickens from somewhere helpful and friendly so I can feel confident that the chickens have been well cared for - any ideas??  Thanks!

I contacted them a few times but I'm still none the wiser as to how long in advance I'd need to order, if they have all the breeds all the time etc etc - I've asked the same questions 3 times and got nowhere!  All they said is that all the breeds are the same (which I understood was not the case) and I would have to order from them or go to one of their agents if I wanted to choose.  No info as to which breeds the agents have available, or when we could go, if we would need appointments etc, which were all the questions I asked :blink:

I got my first three birds from Meadowsweet in Shincliffe. There a lovely birds, very healthy and handsome. They are Black Stars. If you phone up and speak to either the Mr or Mrs I found they were less than talkative, but were able to tell me what they had coming in and when. I got them at 18 weeks and they were all in lay by 22 weeks and have laid all winter. They are nice tempered friendly birds. I paid £9 each last August. . I also get birds from a smallholding in Northumberland but could be a long trek for you. PM me if you want to chat - I'd be happy to go with you.
