I've looked for your girls at every sale i've been to - probably sold privately!!
If you want to sell anything the phone number is 01691 680287. I think they charge about £2 a pen (about the size of a battery cage) There was an Orpington cock in one last time - looked like he was going to burst out any minute! PM me if you're going and I'll buy you a coffee!
G4 - you're absolutely right! Well I have to- in case my little girls are there - don't I???!!

Yes they are being hatched to order but I always set more than I need in case and I have an order for 2 hens.
Sue - we are going to Leek on Saturday and now it would appear Morda on Sunday. Then 1st week in Sept there is a specialist auction local to us here in Stafford (which is where all my surplus stock goes) although most of what I booked in has since been sold - shouldn't moan I suppose!
I am actually on the look out for a few things - so see you Sunday

Have to say leaning towards the Sussex, probably a light or silver. We live in Sussex too so it seems appropriate somehow. The run we have is about 15 metres by 8 so I think 3 more making 6 altogether would be o.k? Also any tips on introducing new birds?! I was thinking of going to our local poultry breeder where we got the first 3 from but am liking the sound of an auction! Will start seeing if I can find one locally unless anyone knows of any in West Sussex?

I got my 4 lovely Rangers from a local chap who rears them from day old. His hygiene was scrupulous and we've never had any problems with them. He also said if I want to talk over any concerns just ring him up. I have confidence in someone like that! I would personally avoid an auction like the plague. You have no chance of taking back an ailing bird and unless you have separate housing to quarantine new purchases you don't know what you might be introducing to yor precious flock.Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

Auctions (whatever you are buying) are for the professional or the gambler. If you REALLY know what to look for, you may get a bargain, otherwise you are taking a big chance.Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.
