What does POL stand for please?

Hi Jdfi welcome to our forum, you will need to check the deeds for your house to see if there are any covenants restricting keeping chickens and also contact your local council to check if they have any restrictions for keeping chickens in the garden. Oh yes, don't get a cockerel as these make alot of noise which will annoy the neighbours. I would love to have chickens but my other half is against the idea. POL stands for point of lay which means the chickens are ready to lay eggs when you buy them.
