They have them every month in Charlies, Queensferry, in  the garden centre department. We went once for a nosey, but to be honest you would be better going to a supplier of pol. It is not an auction though, just a chap selling his stock. He has a few pol, but a lot of pure bred trios. The pol go very quickly, but as we watched he never asked anyone if they had the facilities to keep chickens, and there were families with parents discussing if they should buy some for the kids.

Have you looked here?

There are regular auction sales at Chelford in Cheshire.

Tou will need to get in touch with the store, I don't live down there any more, sorry. As far as I remember they were about £20 each, which is £6 more than we paid from a breeder.
