I was going to suggest Boughton Poultry Auction might have some:

http://boughtonpoultryauction.co.uk/about.html (http://boughtonpoultryauction.co.uk/about.html)

but have just realised it was on Sunday and then next one is not until September so not so helpful! It might be worth checking the listings though - if there are meat birds in there, you should be able to contact the seller to see if they have more available. Bit late in the year for hatching eggs although worth a try (I've some due to hatch on Saturday  :fc:).

I highly recommend Poulet Anglais - we got some white slow growing meat birds a number of years ago and the next year some ducks.  he is happy to deal in small numbers. I googled his details and came across

http://poultrykeeper.com/general-chickens/fast-food-broiler-chicken (http://poultrykeeper.com/general-chickens/fast-food-broiler-chicken)

which has his contact details in.

Deals with day olds.  Ducks need to be ordered in advance.
