Wanted: Point of Lay Pullets in October (Auckland NZ)

We would like 2 medium-strength layer hens and 2 pets. Went to the the Kumeu poultry show recently and liked the Hamburghs for layers and Silkies for pets. Bit we're having trouble finding a breeder. Can anyone here help us? Maybe we could relax our requirements and take a couple of other breed of layers. But we have to say we prefer rare breed over ex-battery hens.

  • Thanks for this link. I called them and they do have some interesting chook breeds. Even know of somewone in the same area who does Silkies! And we happen to be passing through Thames in a few weeks on our way back from a dirty birding weekend in Katikati!

    Actually, check out these guys, they have a variety of breeds and will have some pullets available from November. You need to be able to go pick them up in Thames though...

  • We are interested in the same thing actually. Probably won't be ready until a bit later though, december or January, but would be interested in knowing where we can find a handful of hens, Orpingtons maybe, or White sussex?
