Light Sussex or Welsummers at £4.00 a dozen plus postage at cost. I can post pictures if they're breeds that you're interested in. 
I also do some Welsex chickens which are a sex linked bird obtained by running a Welsummer cock with a LS hen. All the female chicks hatch brown and the males are white.

if it's nice crossbreeds i should have a few, got 4 cockerals running with the girls at the moment. I regularly hatch my own eggs and get fantastic results!

I'm in fife, and usually go on 50P an egg, duck eggs are a £1 (again crosses)
