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.

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.
