Hi everyone,
You may recall me mentioning that due to various business changes it is no longer possible to share the Poultry Suppliers List with allotment.or.uk (I emphasize no problems, John and myself are the biggest of buddies!!).
The long and short of it is that Down the Lane doesn't have them any more.
I am at present emailing about 400 Breeders through the UK offering them free listing in new pages I've just set up.
Obviously these pages aren't going to appear overnight, but the sooner I can get as many Counties covered the more it's worthwhile Visitors to DTL finding the information they need.
Should you know of any Breeders in your area, please let them know. There's no catch, it's completely free of charge and it gives them good advertising on a busy Website.
This is the link to see how it's going...

This is the link to give any Breeders..
http://www.downthelane.net/chicken-breeders-uk/breeders-information.php
On the first link above you will see I'm putting some of the 'What Chickens Mean to Me' posts, so if anyone hasn't posted in there yet, please do so - it will be used
!!
Very many thanks, Richard

Re: Do you know any Chicken or other Poultry Breeders
Hi,
They're coming along. I added another three Counties so far today making 15 in total, all have at least one Breeder in them.
You can of course tell me of a Breeder and I can search it up myself, no problems.
Thanks, Richard

My usual place for hens and feed in Berkshire...

Re: Do you know any Chicken or other Poultry Breeders
Hi,
Thanks, I have emailed to all your suggested Breeders.
I think I've now probably sent out 300 plus!!
There is a worrying side; many of the websites I go on are now closed down and about one in ten of the emails come back not delivered, guss the weather slowed down the Poultry trade, certainly slowed down the Lane!
Now up to 21 Counties with at least one entry.

Re: Do you know any Chicken or other Poultry Breeders
Hi,
Thanks.
Up to 23 Counties with at least one entry.
Sent another 70 odd emails off earlier. It's surprising how many return Delivery Status Notification though.
Seems there's a lot of Breeders packing it in.
Pity.
