I'm planning on going to the nearest main store tomorrow to buy a couple. Thing is, I'm wondering about the size - like how many would one feed. The second thing is the 'from' bit. In the Clapham Junction station metro size M&S they had the brand currently being advertised but for £6 and it would just about do 2 people. So by my reckoning the £2 bird must be the size of a quail! Has anyone bought one these chickens yet?.

No, tried too but they had all sold out early today. Maximum of two per person. More coming in again tomorrow apparently Problem is I can't get there until after work so doubtless they will all be gone again.
Basically the offer is that they are half price. So whatever it says on the label on the chicken, halve that, and that's what you pay. You choose the chicken you want.
The range goes from largeish corn fed free range types that were originally £11 or so to small Oakham chickens which were originally £3.70 or so. So, the £2 thing really isn't definite, it could actually be lower than that depending on the chicken you choose.
Yes the small chickens are exactly that, small. But plenty of singles, couples and elderly folk were happy to buy one.
This chicken is going to cleaned, washed, and frozen for Christmas, should be good with a freshly boiled ham. Tomorrow I'm shopping early in my local big Sainsbury to see if I can get some more. You can never have enough chicken in my house.
free range = 5.49/Kilo - half price = 2.74
i think these are correct, from memory
these are M&S Oakham chickens. Very nice chickens, we often get them anyway.
Basically what you see on the label, halve it.
Sold out of everything today, even sold out of some that were meant for tomorrow.
Cue irate customers that can't grasp the concept of 'subject to availability'.
