Myself and wife have decided to keep a couple of hens as pets. Could anybody please tell me where we can buy them, we live in Manchester and are having trouble finding any for sale.

Hi there, Unfortunately I don't know of anywhere in Manchester - I'm going to be selling bantam light sussex later in the year but I'm afraid you've just missed my last sale!

It'll be a few months before I've got anything else, closest places I know are Preston and Sheffield.

Hello,

I am not in manchester but it is only about a 45 minute drive from here. We are in Flintshire, North Wales. I am incubating several breeds at the moment, and the first hatch date is 14th July. Is this any help?
