Thank you, this is my fear for buying hatchery chicks but 30 dollars a bird is hard to stomach. Looking for the middle man out there of you read this!!
Anyone ever buy silver laced wyandotte from McMurray? Have pictures of adult birds? I have my feelers out for Silver Laced Wyndotts and I have made several post here about finding breeders. Unfortunately most of them want 30+bucks per chick. We want 25 birds and cannot afford to pay 30 dollars a...
I have 3 hens that need a new home. Too small to be eaten but I suspect they will start laying once the days get longer. They hatched about June/July. Gonna be honest, no idea what type they are (I got them as eggs from someone that had sex links so they are a mix of a mix) I will be posting...

Thank you so much! I am a teacher at a middle school here and I get new students every 9 weeks. Just got done introducing myself to my new kids. Got a lot of eye rolls when I told them about on my chickens hahah.
