Guest The Big Fish Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I get day olds for about 25 p each Are you absoloutley sure that is accurate? 10 years ago they used to be eighty pence for a day old pheasant and even if your hatching your own, there is no way on this earth that you can produce a pheasant chick for 25 pence, WELL i suppose if you stole the egg and had free electric to incubate it, then maybe....

Aaron 3 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 we buy 8 week old poults for £3.10 and partridge for £4. put aylsbury ducks on flight ponds to call wild duck in. £/cost ratio is very dependent upon weather, insect life and natural food resourses! Quote Link to post
Big.T 2 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Hi, we got our poults at £2.85 delivered and tagged, sounds like we got lucky. Paid £110 per ton for wheat but that has now gone up to £155. Get it from a keeper friend who buys a lot hence the good price. Quote Link to post
mad max 40 Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 i find 25 p a chick hard to believe unless there late in the season when the incubating is nearly over and the last eggs are being collected we have 17000 chicks a season and 8000 poults delivered even when we do are own eggs were still dearer than that. it costs us 40p just for a egg feed is also set to go higher next year were paying around 160 a ton at the moment some places are paying close too 220 here we have ten ton at a time we gave 320 for duck poults we had 50 for a string off 3 lakes we have i counted 150 the other night so it seems there calling a few in now Quote Link to post
stork 1 Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Whats your shoot normally paying for young birds.............also what are you paying for a ton of feed?Cheers lads Poults are about £3.00-£3.75 depending how they are reared on grass or just housed commercial size game farms. And the foo depends on what make you have anything from £200-£400 for the best also how much of it you order you might get a deal.. Quote Link to post
