No problem. And that is awful! I had a terrible time finding the marans. I wanted chicks personally (I may be crazy). I would offer something much lower than asking, and see what she says. I cant imagine its easy to sell them. Worst she can say is no!
Do you know how many you want? From one new flock owner to another, start SMALLER than you want to. I regret getting so many to start with. I ordered from hatchery (went in with some friends), found some rare breeds on craigslist, as well as buying from rural king... I went way overboard. I love...
I just purchased 10 BCM from a reputable breeder near my house, She only has BCM, the roosters and hens were beautiful! She asked $15 for each, I offered her 60 for $10 and she accepted if i agreed to give her any "show quality rooster". LOL So I would say $13 is reasonable. $25 for olive egg...
