Hi all has anyone used these? There advert details is below:
Day old chicks to POL
Guaranteed fremales from £1.75
POL's from £4.50
Are they any good just aware that sometimes its to good to be true!
-
£4.50 seems VERY reasonable for POL's.
-
Well I agree but just aware that its a mobile number, also seams very cheap and they have basic injections as well! :blink:
-
Mmmmm £4.50 is VERY cheap and a basic injection is probably just the Mareks, but doesn't mean a lot. Look at grumpyDad, his original birds were supposed to be vaccinated for everything, but they still died.
Does seem too good to be true! But I could just be an old cynic!
-
If things seem too good to be true they usually are :(
-
Also I don't always trust people who only give a mobile number. Perhaps you could ring them and ask if you can visit the place? Have a look around and see what you think of the set up?
I know ours isn't the best of set ups, but I always invite people round to see the chickens and know that they are looked after and happy.
-
Well being honest I agree, I've decided I'm going to go to Newland Poultry by Worcester, a bit more expensive but its a very nice setup and I dont want to risk all my other girls.
-
wherever you get your girls from have a couple of visits just to be sure before buying. Inspect their animal husbandry and thoroughly check the girls over - I lost 7 birds through buying off a breeder and from not carrying out these checks, still you live and learn.
-
Thanks Joyfull, will check them out and make sure. I also like the fact that any issues they will refund within a week.
