I've been a year now without hens & I'm considering getting some more. I miss those eggs sooo much

So how much is a reasonable price for POL these days, nothing fancy warrens or RIR/LS x
these will be working birds who'll need to be good layers.

Ooh and how much are you paying for food, organics not an issue as long as it's non-GM ?

[Aunt Sally]

Glad to hear you're getting some more chickens Richy

I can get little red hen's around here for about £12.50 each.

Layers pellets are about £8 for 20 Kg.

Hope your camera is working Richy , you've not forgotten the law about posting pictures I hope

[joyfull]

round here we can get goldlines or warrens (can't remember what they are but the normal brown ones  ) for £3 something. me and Grannie went and collected a load not long ago (don't know how the woman does them at that price for POL's but they are doing well at Annies).

i think i need a trip over to lincolnshire to pick up some more chooks!!!    cheapest i can find Normal Brown) pols is £8 and they are hit and miss with stock! ive just switched to organic layers pellets and am paying £10.25 per 25kg bag was paying £7.50 per 20kg bag before.

Weee his hin posh Kent you know.

Cost me more than £12.50 to travel to Norfolk (the land of poultry) to get some.

[joyfull]

I have recently moved from Allen and Page organic as the price went upto about £15-00 and moved onto Garvo at just over £9. However I got low on Tuesday so called into Grannies and bout some Bearts layers off her (cheaper still) and the chooks love them

next time you come to Lincolnshire if you want we can take a visit to our place for you to take back

You know my garden Joy.  It's FULL with two chickens. 

[richyrich7]

I see it varies a lot !  Might have to make a trip to Lincolnshire ! it'd still be cheaper than buying local I think 

No worries Aunty I have my camera ready !

[Aidy]

I get the Blackrocks @£10 pol and feed from my local petshop is £8.98 for 25K

[joyfull]

thats a good price for blackrocks at POL, a lovely bird, hardy, good layers and long lived. I would recommend them to anybody

I thought they were £4.50 Joy, but yes, don't know how she manages that.  Our last lot were £7.  I don't think she raises them herself, but gets them from a commercial breeder and just sells on as and when.  If you remember, they all had their beaks trimmed!

And as to feed, I sell a 20kg bag for £6.50, but Brian wants to put it up a little as the price has gone up a bit, but I won't alter my price unless it goes up again as the rise was only small.

I think you should have a trip to Lincolnshire too Richy! lol  I'll have the kettle on!   :happy:

[joyfull]

it might have been £4 odd (not sure as I didn't pay  ).
Don't forget a piece of cake with the cuppa 

[GrannieAnnie]

Cake as well?   .............       oh okay!!!
