Suze01 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I'm not familiar with your region but here there are Co-Operative Agricole shops/farm suppliers where you can order point-of-lay chickens. That's where I bought some of mine from. Here they have three different breeds available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceni Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Here in 46 we bought ours at the local market. The first lot produced an egg within 2 hours of arriving home.But if in doubt ask your neighbours.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swissie Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 When we had our first 4 ex-battery hens, they were almost bald too, and didn't know how to walk! It took them a day to find they could go forward and not just raise legs up and down on the spot, and also to scratch and find small slugs and worms. within a couple of weeks they had re-grown good fluffy coats. When Poppy's bottome started to be covered with huge white blooby spots, we were worried - and one morning said spots burst into lovely plumes and within 2 days she had the fluffiest bumbum!Great pets as Q says, followed me around everywhere when I was in the garden, hoping i'd find a little worm as a treat. A wonderful experience for all the family- and if I didn't travel so much, would love to have a few again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
