Hello from the Lleyn Peninsula
« on: January 04, 2013, 09:37:12 pm »
 :wave:

Hello everyone,

newbie here, i have been visiting this site for over a year now and finally can say that myself and hubbie are now living the dream in our first smallholding (8 acres) on the beautiful Lleyn Peninsula.  We have moved in 2 months ago now and are getting ready for our chickens, the new chicken house will be arriving on Monday for us to erect, we have a greenhouse to sort out and are thinking of setting up a polytunnel for growing as much as possible!

Does anyone local to the Pwllheli area know of any one sellling point of lay chickens in the vicinity?? ;) 

shelly  :wave:

Hi and Welcome Shelly  :wave:  from a miserable Carmarthenshire.
I was thinking of getting a poly tunnel myself. Do you need planning permission?

Hello and welcome!


Sorry I am a bit too far away to recommend anyone for chooks, as we are in central Scotland. Why don't you try posting in the poultry or marketplace sections?

Hi and welcome from  :sunshine:  Worcestershire  :wave:   I do have pol chucks but am too far from you.  Cyril Bason does hybrids for about £7- £9 he might be worth contacting, as if he is too far he may know someone nearer.

Hello I'm another newbie to the forum.
Vince and Sharon Mears run Treddafydd Farm (google for contact details) on the Lleyn they have hens so should be able to tell you where you can get some good chooks from. Good luck!
