I've had 4 of them since mid June. They've been very productive up until now when they are going through a mould. They have been averaging about 6 egg's a week, probably only getting an egg every other day off each of them at the moment.

Good layers....but the price is a bit steep......ones I've seen usually go for about a fiver.

Ditto Aggy :D

Warrens are very good but ten pounds each isn't a bit steep, its extortionate. :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

I paid £6ish for each of mine at POL in August and I get an egg from each girl pretty much every day.  Pearl likes one day off every month but the other two don't.

Too right far too much they are about a fiver round here.
He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.

I'll sell you some for nine pounds  fifty Celtic :D  A proper bargain that is. :thumright:

If you go down to Chelford market on a Monday mornings, you'll pick some up really good POLs for around a fiver each at the auction. Chelford is in Cheshire and its not a million miles aqway from you. You'll also have a brilliant day out.
Try and miss out on bank holidays and when the kids are off school because the prices tend to be higher. Thats where I'd go for some if I wanted any Warrens.
I've had a few lots from there and always been satisfied. The producers name is always shown on the numerous pens that he puts in the auction every week and if my memory serves me well, its Facey or Fahey.
