We buy Sassos from S &T Poultry in Wisbeck, Cambridgeshire. We've been using them for around 5 years. I'll try to attach photo I took of last years birds.

Check their Website, which is easy to find if you google it.They have lots of information on their site about the birds they sell.
 They also have day-old Geese, Ducklings and Turkeys.

It's easiest to contact by e-mail. They deliver all over the country I believe.We live in East Yorkshire and organise to collect from a lay-by near Leeds.

Hopt this helps.
