Mmmm, last time we went into the one we don't talk about!!  They were £4.60.  I think the £7 dd ones are probably organic?

But I'm happy with £3.30p a kilo Boxfanman.  There's no good us charging for our time, or they would be too expensive to buy, but if I can take all my exes into consideration, feed, electric, bedding etc, and make a small profit, and people around here get a good product, then I'm happy.  We haven't got overheads like the shops!

Organic are top of the list, so most expensive.  You can be free range, but it takes several years to get organic status, hence the extra money!

Also, free range just means they (are supposed to) get access to outdoors when they want between daylight hours.  

Organic is where they've only been fed on organic food, as opposed to growers pellets full of chemical additives etc and organic free range is a combination of both
