you need a small set up for the right price 50 day or week old should not cost more than  £60 un sext .all the places you mention £4.50 happey chicks Cyril Bason £5 etc .get to a local chap and stick with him.i have 6 people that have 40 or so chicks they onley pay £50 as this helps me some times. i have big incubaters and the eggs to hatch a lot so it dosent bother me iff some 1 wonts the chicks or eggs let them have them .i have birds going for sale next week and i no the punter will get a good deal .
