hello from the west country

Hello, I live in North west wiltshire on a pony farm in a caravan with all my chickens in a big run behind. Every day I come home and let my chickens out and they all go running onto the grass around my caravan, and later invade my caravan looking for crumbs I've dropped and into my raised beds to invade my tomato patch. They are naughty but very funny.
I have trained them to come running when I cheep coz they know they're about to get tasty food like porridge. This helps me to keep a check on them even though they are really good at sticking together and will even gang up on a prowling cat if they see one completely ruining its cover and dignity with their loads squawks of alarm and defiance.
Currently i keep pekin bantams in all different colours both pure colours and random mixes. I have recently bought a trio of japanese quail and a pair of silver spangled hamburg bantams.
I am hoping to get more silver spangled hamburgs so i can breed from them and sell unrelated pairs, trios and hatching eggs so other people can breed them.
So if anyone lives near to me and has silver spangled hamburgs they're thinking of selling please let me know. i'm also after a pure white pekin hen.
Thats about it hope i haven't bored you all too much : )
Thanks starling
