I took a couple of coaches of kids there 2 years ago and they had several tros of rare breeds for sale. I came home with Silver Wyandottes.It is not a hatchery but they do sell their surplus,, mayebe give them a phone call. I bet they know who does sell them nearby.

Could also try some of the e-bayers selling hatchling eggs, if you contact those close by, they will sometimes sell you older birds - we bought some 13 week old Buff Orpingtons from a lady in Norfolk who sells eggs via e-bay

Also, there's the local county shows:        www.eastofengland.org.uk
