Taz mate, I wouldn't buy em at all. Pure bred cocks aren't worth that much and anyway, they're going to be full brothers to their sisters, so they're going to be almost worthless to you in any future breeding pen.

£30 sexed, £10 not. Guess the disparity is due to the stress of having to dispose of the cocks. It depends on the age so chicks may be £3. Some breeds will be 20 weeks to sex.

£30 for a POL rather than a chick, I think? But should be sexed by then (even if one of my 'POL pullets' is now a proud strutting cockerel).
