I've been looking for a trio of pure bred chickens for several weeks. You wouldn't think it would be too difficult, would you? I only want Rhode Island Reds or Welsummers or Crested Cream Legbars, nothing too unusual or rare, but I'm really struggling.
I'm in South Yorks, I'm willing to travel a reasonable distance and I'm happy to pay the asking price, yet I can't seem to find anything. These chickens would be the beginning of my own flock, so obviously I want sound, healthy birds and that is more important than the actual breed.
Does anyone have anything? Or know of somewhere I might try? The birds will be kept free range and I'm not a complete novice as I've kept hybrids for several years.
Many thanks
