Looking for hens in N E lincolnshireI live in Grimsby and am not having much luck finding any hens. I can't drive which is a bit of a problem though I can cycle further than most people'd assume. Can anyone help? |

Naomi runs the Lincolnshire Smallholders' Association. She sometimes has chickens for sale. If she can't help you herself, she may well know someone who can. |

Hi 2steps, are you after any particular breed? If you are not, perhaps the Battery Welfare Trust could help you, I know they have a regional rep, but not sure exactly how far he is away from you.
Try here for further information: http://www.thehenshouse.co.uk/rescuecoordinators.html Good look with getting your chooks!

I'm not too fussy about breed. I'd like them to lay well and I'd like a few different type sif I can.
I'll try them, thank you |

Hi 2steps - just thought, why not have a look at the Practical Poultry magazine forum at www.practicalpoultry.co.uk - as a relative newby to poultry keeping I find this a useful reference point.
Why not register with them and post to see if there is anyone more local to yourself who may be able to help. |

I had an email back already from the Battery Welfare Trust giving me the name of my local rep 
will have a read on the practical poulry site though, looks interesting |
