Well they are selling the ground up chicks as chicken byproduct for use in feeds. So you would have to buy them for more than they already get.

Oh I'm sure they will sell them really cheap as "wholesale" and then someone orders a zillion and then in turn posts them on craigslist as "straight run"

and someone like me would buy them thinking "straight run oh at least a few will be hens" and end up with 15 roosters...I definately learned my lesson.
