Where to buy bantams?

[ElleSkywalker]

I seem to have lost the number for the nice chappy I got my current pekin bantams from so need to find another breeder I have bought from the livestock market before but they tend to sell trios ans I already have 2 cockerals, I'd also like more choice, so does anyone have any suggestions of websites that either advertise chickens or a breeders forum or something?!

loads of pages on Facebook-probably a pekin specific one (don't keep Pekins). Or Birdtrader etc.

Loads on preloved too.

What area are you? i know a few people in Kent that I could recommend for Pekins. You could try your local poultry club, or there's a friendly forum called Poultrychat (or practical poultry forum which is larger) where you could post wanted ads.
