I am shocked £20 for all POL's at Jubilee Farm Blackpool. Not sure what to do now? £60 is allot of money for 3 birds.

sure is :?

Is there no where else you could get them from?

Roughlee Handled · « **Reply #122 on:** July 28, 2008, 13:23 »

Not that I have found. The only other place is where big and little Speck came from and not sure about that place. Going for one of each Australorps POL, Goldie POL, Leghorn POL.

Suppose Ellesmere port's a bit too far to travel

Freecyclegardener found some for £10 but I don't know what breeds
I suppose you get what you pay for, I've been VERY lucky in the respect mine all needed new homes, so I got them for nowt

I actualy work forty miles away from Ellesmere Port. But think it may be to far.

Hi P &RH, Australorps are a fabulous bird. Great temperment and lay well too. They have beautiful faces normally you get them in black with large dark chocolate eyes. They are a pure breed and not everso common would have thought mainly hobbyists and specialist breeders would have them. For a good POL bird £20 is a good price.
I have 3 and love them to bits they are cheeky and chatter to me all day long!

Thanks foxy put my mind to rest. One thought though are you on commission? You know I have to say it as I am paranoid.

mmm did not want to purchase anything from the place. Would not recommend it to anyone. Expected something like this

But found a horse yard full of chickens and chicks of all sorts. Happy yes. The Australops where Bantom and the Goldies she did not know which was laying!! I felt I would be bringing home disease they where not £20 birds. Wasted and hour and half.

That is my opinion.

Oh dear roughlee

that doesn't sound good, mind you some of the places I've been have been pretty grim

The odd chucks I have bought I felt like I was rescuing

Rough, can you not try your hand at ex batts? none of mine have died unexpectantly, they need you, and you need them, i rest my case.

Roughlee Handled · « **Reply #133 on:** July 29, 2008, 07:16 »

more ex batt photos

I have 4 ex batts TMG but cant wait till the next re homing day on October the 15th. Funny yesterday one exbatt dug a hole at the side of the muck heep and kept going 5cm deep full of black mud. Mud all up her legs all over her beek and comb. But she was enjoying herself. I will post the photos later.
