*hands up*

me!! well during the spring/summer when all the girls are in full lay mode and the lads are doing their job. hoping to have Cream Legbars this year, various cross breeds. and various bantams - no help at the moment but a few weeks fingers crossed the incubator will be stocked!!

there are a few more forum members but names slip me!!


there is also a spot near newburgh though i have never purchased from there.

there is also a woman out near Darsie, who breeds and sells allsorts - google hens made easy

Thanks its good to know people nearby
I think i will be looking for some new girls in the next couple of months only thing is keep changing my mind what i want
I'm getting 4 girls and OH wants 2 Light Sussex and i will pick other 2 and at the moment going between either 2 Cream Legbars or 2 Wyandottes

Hi Jools. We have both Wyandottes of various colours and some Cream Legbars. Wyandottes in our experience can be problematic. Cream Legbars are a delight. Get biggest hens and bluest eggs as there are small birds and green egg layers as well, neither of which is desirable in the breed.

Hi and welcome from North Yorkshire.    I have hens too including two Speckledys, they are such beautiful birds.

I'm sorting another shed and run at the moment and might be up for a few new girls at POL in spring - I've had hybrids from Mike Black at Collessie but not sure if he breeds regularly or just an odd clutch..

Cameron stay in touch, I might be up for CLs if I don't succumb to temptation before yours are ready

What's the problem with Wyandottes?  I was also wondering about Marans for the dark eggs..

Oooooo Cameron ! Keep me some Cream Legbars if you do a hatching  Really want some 

Ellied - I have a maran (cuckoo I think  ) and her eggs are gorgeous looking. I find she doesn't lay as many as the Isa browns or bluebells, but they're worth it  Mines is called Maccarroni (she's got a squiggly toe) and she's a honey of a hen

still waiting for the CL cockeral to kick into action, could delay hatches, will keep you all posted
