    How do you list/advertise baby chicks?

    Hopefully I can ask this question here - How do you list/advertise your chicks for sale? FB doesn't seem to want them listed in Marketplace for in the various yard sale groups. What other avenues are there? Please private message me if you would like. Thank you.

    Is this a pullet or rooster? We purchased this barred rock as a pullet on 3/18/18 (19 days ago)

    Is this a pullet or rooster? We purchased this barred rock as a pullet on 3/18/18 (19 days ago), so it's probably 3 weeks old now. It seems to act in charge. Likes to sit on top of the waterer and just doesn't look like our other chicks

    Is there a way to cut the single wire power adapter wire as to separate the hot and cold wires inside? In the second adapter pictured there are 2 wires coming out which would work, but I only have a single wire adapter that I would like to use. Is this possible?
