I was looking for some that are older than that as they need to go in the main house with the other older birds.

i sold 4 hens and the cock bird for 85 pound the hens were 12 months old and pict out off the best birds we bred last yere .iv been selling the eggs for 10 pounds for six for ages . i have a black team which is the best wev ever had 5 hens and a cock bird all in full lay .the 2 best hens are broody which i will put chicks to and sell them as 1 lot .the reason im selling them is its better to have the harder to find birds than the silkies . i will replace with another chocklate team and a gold lace bantam team the 2 will make more than the red gold blue black white put to gether same cost to feed .when the feed bill hits £150 a week it makes you think whot to do .i have 55 pens with 4 or 5 birds  in and 10 pens  out side the house .300 chicks as well as quail pheasants ducks geese takes 3 houres in the morning to feed and water then last thing .
