Are any of these still available? I would LOVE the cuckoo, porcelain and black silkies if you are willing to ship to Florida. I am able to transfer payment immediately. TY.

I would LOVE one(or one girl/one boy if I must)! Do you have any pics of the parents? How much $?

Hello, Becca Boo! This thread showed up in my gmail today! I am sure your new fb group will be full of followers soon! You did a great job of organizing Gainesville's chicken community. That group has been a great resource for me and many others. Good luck down south! Jillian

Is it possible to order less than 10 chicks? I live in Florida. Thank you.
