£25?? were they gold plated Nige?? Mind you, saying tht, the other day after I left the hairdresser, I popped in to see a young man who wanted some chooks from me last year, but he hadn't been well.
Thought I'd see how he was and whether he'd bought his coop yet. He was in, and still not 100%, but he also had 2 hens up the garden. He couldn't wait for mine to grow up, so he bought these 2 off the bloke up the road from me.
One looks like a black rock, the other one looks like a Goldline (Bovans Brown!) but she is much smaller, so I don't think she is point of lay yet. How much did he rush you for these then? I asked. £20 each he replied. then I looked at the 'Goldline's' feet. She's got feathery feet! So goodness knows what her parents were. But she's defo part Goldline!!!
