The boss has given the green light to us keeping hens again

Thinking of perhaps 6 hens in total with a mix of 3 different varieties (preferably different colour eggs too).
Know of any suppliers in/around Yorkshire?

There are a couple near us -just off the M180 in North Lincs but only hybrids. Unfortunately Tracy Jain doesn't have Northmoor Farm at Crowle any more. She had all sorts of pure breed poultry and was a pleasure to deal with. If anyone knows her or where she is now she'd be worth getting in touch with.

Yep, if not for stock there'll be some contacts.

We'll be going along for a day out, if that swings it either way...

I have a pair of Appenzeller Spitzhauben pullets for sale at £20 each. They've just started laying lovely chalky white eggs. I come to Otley fairly often too so could deliver.
