Advertising baby chicks

[happybooker1]

Where do ya'll advertyise baby chicks you have to get rid of? I have extra Silkies chicks that we don't need but I need somewhere to advertise them. Can't do FB, Craigslist ad not getting any hits?

Hmm you can try eBay. You can also try your state’s thread here on BYC.

Have you tried your state thread here, or the birds for sale section?
Try signs with photos at your feed stores! Maybe even at your big groceries.

I've always put my chickens on craigslist. Haven't had any real problems selling them but sometimes it takes from the next day to a couple weeks before anyone calls. I've never sold chicks though or any since this virus started so things may be different now. I have found out it has to be your breed someone wants, not just someone looking for a "chicken". Also some folks just don't want to fool with brooding a chick and would rather pay for a "layer" so just hang in there.

How long have you had your ad up?
Are they overpriced compared to getting them somewhere else?

Don't underestimate word of mouth and what Folly said.

Thanks all. I forgot the premise of advertising: It only takes one buyer. I just had to wait a couple more days n sold all 18 chicks (15 silkies n 3 others) to the same person. He was happy; I was happy
