The niece of a neighbor bought them at a TSC (they were no help, plus it was in April when they were purchased and I don't know which TSC) without permission or a plan, etc. I'm sure they were cute and cheap so it seemed a good idea at the time, lol.

    I feel you! I am trying not to spend too much money doing this. But I have looked for ornamental young hens (or chicks) for 2 years without any luck. I promised my daughter and just can't seem to get my hands on any.I sent an email to a place in E-town I found online that has silkies but...

    Thanks so much, but I just found some very near me. If I hadn't fond them I may have been willing to make the drive!
