Title: Where do I buy chooks in Perthshire?!
Post by: Kev on July 07, 2008, 10:32:42 am

Hi folks

I am having great difficulty finding someone to buy chooks off of in Perthshire (I live in Blairgowrie). Getting no answers when phoning adverts for Black Rocks so can anyone help in putting me in touch with a seller of POL's, ideally Black Rocks or RIR's. I'm looking for 5-6 birds, new arc coming on Friday so am ready to go!

Thanks

There is a chap in Drum, in Kinross, who breeds Black Rocks. I've had day-olds from him and they've been good - I think he does POL too. I can't remember his name by he's at The Hatchery 01577 840401.

There's a poultry sale on at Caledonian Market in Stilring on Staurday 26th July. I bought Black Rocks at the Spring sale there and they've been fine.

Thanks for that. I've just spoken to the guy in Kinross (eventually!) and he has given me the number of someone in Burntisland who has 14 week old's for sale.

Also thanks for the heads up on the market in Stirling, how ironic as its from Stirling that I moved up here to Blairgowrie 6 weeks ago!
