Youngest batch, the 6 bluebell/6 sussex age now 9 weeks all sold subject to collection at the weekend.
Still have a couple of legbar pullets now 11 weeks and the Sussex/Maran/Speckledy are now 15 weeks and almost at POL £15/bird.
Also decided if someone wants the 2 Rhode Rock and 2 Colombian Blacktails they are good laying hens around 14 months old, used to coming in at night and free ranging all daylight hours. They're taking up a whole large coop I could put to more effective use with the youngsters, and get my ages sorted for max production. Suit a more hobby/domestic setting but will produce large/x-large eggs for several more years. £6/bird
Please note most of my birds are bought in at day old, professionally sexed as female and pre-vaccinated. Legbars and a couple of older adult Sussex/Bluebell/Scots Grey aren't and all in excellent health despite mixing but I know some folk prefer to keep one or other.
More available later September/October - bluebell, sussex, marans, speckledy most likely but can also get rhode rock, blacktail and leghorn to order and raise to required age if pre-booked with deposit. After that probably no more til March.

All POLs spoken for and the bluebell/sussex growers have all been collected.
Still have the 4 laying hens and a couple of legbar pullets to sell if anyone wants them, they can stay if not.
Last batch of day olds of the year coming next week if anyone wants to order specific ones. Would need collected by about 6 weeks old as I don't want to winter them outdoors and I've not enough indoor space. Can also sell off heat or anytime in between. Definite orders only please. Next lot after this will be late March.
