It would be great if you can take one. I'd like to try to find hones for the others before having to do the other. We're in a pretty rural area so we might get lucky. Where are you?
Thank you so much! I thought about Craig's list but I was worried about just what you said. We weren't planning on charging for them. I'll look into. Those pages and post a sign at our local feed and grain. I hope we can find them new homes before all beck breaks out!

The older ones are 3 years old. Last year we used extra lighting but electricity has jumped quite a bit so thats out now. Unfortunately the heat lamp will only be on for the coldest nights now too.

We recently had to get rid of our roosters as we were getting ready to add 8 new chicks. Didnt want the roosters jumping the young ones. After the roosters were gone the hens stopped laying. When one of the young roosters went to an older hen she chased him away! ( pretty funny though.) Will...
Hi two crows! Firstly, we have to think of a good name. Love yours! We hatched New Hampshire reds. Have the last one on video. Unfortunately three are roosters. Will have to give one away.
