My husband came home from work and said this guy at work wanted to get rid of about 8 pullets. He thought they might be light sussex. I jumped at the chance especially as they were free!

When he went to work on Monday he told the guy we wanted them but he had sold them :cry: However he said that he had 6 R.I.R. pullets that I could have FREE. Now that is what I call the right price

So any one else out there going to give me an idea of how much to pay for good quality, Point of lay Rhode Island reds and Light Sussex?

ok between £6 and £15 the RIR's and £10 for the LS. but if you can start lower they want to sell them more that you want to buy them

Where I go for horse feed etc the guy said that everyone has suddenly decided that they want to keep hens, the scare of Avian Flu has gone. When I asked how much his POL where I was told that they were £9.50 each, in January when the scare was high I bought my four girls at POL from them for £6.00 each- I suppose they call it supply and demand. :shock: :shock:

Why such high prices...in Spain we pay about two pounds for pullets not far off laying anda pound for a quail.

Remember, this is rip off Britain we're talking about!!! The last POL we got were £3.75 each, but that was 4 years ago!!!

Our ex batts are 50p each!!!!
