Sadly I need to find my girls a new home. I am seeking a pet only home. There are three white leghorns and two silkies. They are eating poulin grain egg production plus. They are about 3 yrs old I think? They do still lay but the silkies do go through phases where they dont for a bit but...
$25 for all. I do have a perspective home....someone is supposed to be meeting me saturday. I will update the thread saturday if they are still available.
They are about 2 yrs old. Also someone asked where I got them from (pm'd me). I had got them as pullets from someone off craigslist. That person got them from a hatchery as chicks to raise with his kids. Mcmurray I think was the hatchery.
