You'd be more than welcome to have mine, they are no spring chickens any more though. I've had them for three years and before that they came from a block near Little River. My guess is they'd be about four and five years old. The younger one still lays most days, the older one is slowing it down a bit. I would like to replace them with some younger ones in spring, but dread giving them the 'chop', so if anyone wants them they'd be very welcome. They are probably shaver x somethings, but I don't really know. They are hardy and independent, though not very tame. Never managed to get those wild early years out of them :-)

Anyway, let me know if you are interested.
We got ours from the "chicken man" :)
