Scots Grey bantams
« on: May 08, 2013, 10:42:56 pm »
I was just wondering if anyone keeps Scots Grey bantams. I have a few and think they are great wee birds.

I suppose if they are really good stock that could be the reason still seems a bit over priced.

I have LF Scots Greys and am quite fond of them-might be in the market for some bantams later in the year? and some more LF if anyone has any.

Hi "Lord flynn", I'm getting the lend of an incubator and hope to have it full of eggs by the end of this week. So will hopefully have pullets later on in the year again. Hope your others are still doing well. OEH.

I have hatched a few broods of bantam scot greys over the last 10 years. They are one of my favourite breeds I have kept. Small, eat little, lay quite alot, occasionally broody, pretty and full of character/attitude + they are really easy to sex at about 4-5 weeks old, the females are alot darker in colour than the males. Im looking at getting some bantams again soon and there high on my list as ones I would like.

Hi "SussexRanger" my Scots Greys are large ones but I have to say I'm very happy with them too, lots of character and even more attitude!! And lovely to look at :thumbsup:

You on Facebook Robbie?

We started a wee Scots Grey group just a week or two back, might be someone on there that can help you with bantams.

Hi robiefox I have a few scots grey bantams and just started with scots dumpy bantams haven't any for sale as I am trying to build up numbers and improve quality. If you join the relevant clubs you may get some contacts for stock best of luck.

Dumpy bantams are very very hard to come by, I have some coming up from the south of England as I could not find many people up in Scotland who have any for sale. There are a fair amount of scots grey bantam breeders in Scotland but I would suggest that this is not the best time of year to try and buy because they will have already sold any surplus stock. What are you looking for is it show stock or just for pets.
