Chicken_man 1,651 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 That's a fair question mate :-) Its finding good birds and the people who are willing to part, there are both out there. Firstly what are you after ? Secondly,you will be surprised at just how willing folk are to help. All the best with your quest :-) 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bullx100% 681 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 First off mate get your self some pens set up...then decide which type / types of fowl you want to keep..it doesn't realy mater if you buy eggs or birds first all tho if you buy eggs make sure there off some one with a good reputation as they could be selling you some light Sussex And say there anything....there are plenty of decent lads on here who are willing to help out new comers and even older fowl men......I've been helped out with eggs and the offer of older birds from lads off here so there are lads who are willing to help....it's just a few people have gifted birds to people only to see them up for sale a couple days later... Atb in your search mate and god luck in what you decide atb bx1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fitchet 788 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I was fairly lucky as I knew plenty of people who owned fowl already it was just a case of knocking up a few more pens for me really I bought in older birds but I waited till I saw something that really caught my eye. If you need more just let nature take its course one thing I would never do is by in eggs as like already been said you never know what your getting and I've seen a few people ripped off like this.

devon flighter 421 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 im in the same situation and yes its very hard to get started if you dont know anyone ,and eggs through the post can be hit and miss but if thats the only option thats the way you would need to go! but talking from personal experience, as has been said by others, theres people who will help you if your genuine and know specifically what you are looking for (THANK YOU ), but know what you want and be patient until you get what you like! "its no good just grabbing at anything offered if you think you will be unhappy with your choice in the future " its a long term commitment your entering into .Good luck with your quest ,remember though sometimes it helps if you can also offer something in return . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
