POULTRY AND WATERFOWL INFORMATION RESOURCE
2010 is a year for re-evaluating all our values and working to improve our personal sustainability, there has never been a better time to get our gardens working harder for ourselves, growing our own food: meat and eggs, recycling more, breeding more useful types of birds, and helping each other.
Our websites are full of experienced advice, from decades of breeding and rearing and eating, and well researched, reliable, state of the art products for the domestic environment.
We look forward to helping you get more out of your garden or smallholding, and your birds, for a fulfilling 2010.
PLEASE read our CONTACT US page for our opening times.
We are very busy outside these days so, sometimes, the office is not manned.
Please email any queries about purchasing and we will get back in touch with you as soon as we can.

Keeping Domestic Poultry : An information Resource
by Kintaline Poultry Centre, Benderloch, Oban, Argyll PA37 1QS
These pages are part of a growing information resource inspired by, and based on, decades of helping domestic poultry keepers find the right solutions for their situation and our own experience breeding birds to improve selected UK pure breeds. No "out of the box, one size fits all" here. We recognise your individuality and have the experience, and the range of answers, to help you and your birds. It is far from complete please bear with us, and return to learn more.

Finding sources of domestic poultry and waterfowl


The places to look for people selling birds

Local vets noticeboards and their local knowledge
Local feedstore noticeboards and their local knowledge
Local newspaper adverts
Regional agricultural papers - eg Farmers Guardian, Scottish farmer, Farmers Weekly,

The internet but be specific about location, there are no national carriers so don't contact people you cannot reach personally. A few places have private delivery facilities in some parts of the country but you should always go to a place to see their birds, talk to the breeders and check out the conditions.
