I live in the scottish borders, its from a breeder, and they are young ones, about 21 weeks? No idea of the breed, dont think they are fancy breeds, any idea roughly how much?

probably anything around a tenner each, if they are point of lay.
hopefully another Borderer may be more helpful than me!
check with the breeder what age they are, and what breed & do some "research" it really helps... or maybe I'm just nosey!

Tell us what colours they are and we might be able to help - if they are mostly a brownie sort of colour they could be Lohman or Isa Browns, Warrens, or other hybrids. Battery hens are usually one of these, so you'd get the same sort of breed.

They are young and the colours of them are cream coloured?? Whiteish?
