If your dumpies are of good type then £15 - £20 per hen is a decent price, would suggest £30-40 for a trio.

When I said 'bit far away', I actually meant about as far as it's possible to go without falling in the sea! I live not far from Thurso  ;)

Thankyou for that, it gives me an Idea of how much I should ask.
The Dumpies said they will swim to you if i give them wingbands!
