Has anyone seen any Scots Grey or Scots Dumpy chickens for sale recently?

I have just hatched some Scots Grey eggs which | bought on ebay. We bought 6 and so far 2 have hatched.The seller is from Taynuilt and I can pass you on details if you wish as I think they have quite a large flock. There was a report in Scottish Farmer that at a recent sale Scots Dumpies sold for over £300 although I was at a recent auction in Stirling and Scots Dumpies there were about £50 for a pair.

Have a look at the Aberdeen and Northern marts sale at Inverurie on Saturday - there are either Greys or Dumpys in the catalogue but I can't remember which.
