Chickens: Eggstremely good value?...
And still talking about Nottcuts garden centre in Pembury I noticed yesterday that you can now buy chickens there. The coup and gear will set you back an arm and a leg but the chickens themselves are very reasonably priced at £25 each. I think you have to buy at least a pair (or is it a brace in poultry talk?) so that's fifty quid. Two eggs a day at about 20p each you'd have you money back in well less than a year even allowing for chicken food. Sounds like a good deal to me. Might even give it a go. Mind you there are more foxes about these days and then there's bird flu; so maybe not....

If you were thinking of buying some...£25 seems very expensive. Obviously depending on the chicken. We have only ever bought chickens for £5 each. If you don't mind travelling a little further you can get a lot more for your money. We recently bought some extremely nice looking Pekin Bantams for £25 each. But here we were paying more for the novelty.
Do you know what type of hens Notcutts were selling?
