seems to be the going rate here, I can't find alot of POL's around me, its been doing my head in been doing so much googling.  She supplies nice healthy birds though for the £18

[GrannieAnnie]

£18 is not the going rate for a hybrid in Lincolnshire, although the idiot up the A52 from us sold his at £20!

[cammi]

Well like I say I've googled and googled i dont know anyone to ask for word of mouth so internet is my only source of info, she is the only place I can find that has any pols. Been bite. Twice and got ripped off so at least I know her birds are healthy and do what they say on the tin lol. Picking up a copper black tomorrow.

...the idiot up the A52 from us sold his at £20!

I would suggest he's not such an idiot then, GrannieAnnie!

Cammi, just be aware that you aren't guaranteed dark eggs with a copper black

I know, but the lady said that if she doesnt lay dark eggs i can take her back and swap her for another one which is good.

Anyway i've got her and she has the most beautiful eyes! lol

He is when some of them die after 2 days and the people take them back to him and he just says to them, well birds do die sometimes, what do you want me to do about it?  And the fact that both he and his father who works with him are selling up!!!

Tells you something doesn't it?

Cammi, whereabouts are you in Lincs again?  Joyfull knows a lady who sells POL's but her POL's are a bit young at the moment, but they are not £18!!!  (sorry mods, bit naughty there!)

Cammi I bought my 5 chickens on Wednesday from this place and they do seem to be good healthy birds.  The lady we bought from is knowledgeable and gave us some good information.  They have a good range of hybrids and £18 each, I thoght was reasonable.  Another place I looked at, sold 3 hybrids for £50 but they didn't have as many breeds, but I just didn't like the place.

[joyfull]

Cammi lives Folkingham direction Grannie, but yes £18 for a hybrid is very expensive especially as a pure breed cuckoo Marans isn't much more. Hybrids need only cost around £5-10 per hen 

[GrannieAnnie]

One can only do one's best Joy!!!

[LittleRedHen]

We had a coucou maran and we paid £18 pounds for her too.

[joyfull]

wonder why they are so expensive when a pure cuckoo Marans is only a few pounds more
