Not many about

The only good one I know is in Worcestershire but does send hatching eggs out of thats any good?

Alternatively the breed does have a club that may hold a list of breeders

Thanks WelshD yes you are right, not many about!
I have located a couple of 4-8 week olds in Surbiton Poultry so probably go for them instead, shame that so many hybrids are being produced and not the pure breds, I like to keep the strains pure.
I'm not geared up now for hatching eggs, got rid of alot of equipment so I need birds that can live without the lamp.
I'll have a look at the link you gave me incase I miss the birds in Surbiton, Oz

If you get stuck and can't find any I can pop some eggs under a broody for you. You would have to source the eggs though.

Thanks, I was considering this but have got rid of my incubator.
If I get stuck I might take you up on this, like your user name, how on earth did you come by that one, or perhaps I better not ask!!

Someone on Practical Poultry forum is advertising a quartet in Sussex, if that is any help.
I don't know if non members can read the ads, if not give me a shout and I can pm him.

Thanks but I had already tried both of these before I posted on here.
Infact I emailed at least 12 breeders over 5 counties, half never responded and the other half didn't have any.
They do seem thin on the ground!

Thanks but we want hens only, now investigating Maran crosses as no pure breds to be had anywhere near me unfortunately, thanks for all your suggestions, Oz

Have you tried Bonnie at Middle Farm in Sussex? She has quite a few large fowl pure breeds
