I think we're doing 'day olds rather than hatching eggs this time, so as soon  as off heat probably. Is that right Stu?  If so I'll send an email round members

Yip - buying in day olds Rosemary. Seems to be a better and more accurate way - buy 100 chicks as opposed to 100 eggs and hope!!!
 
Have you got yours yet?

But you're selling them right away as day olds too, right Stu?

Yes David. I collect them as day old and only keep them as long as it takes folk to arrange picking them up from me.

I would like 10 if you have any spare, they did well for me last year.
