Chaseschicks,

Eggcessive is right. You should not have a problem finding some. I have too many birds, and plan to reduce my numbers as well. I breed for new birds... sell some, and buy from someone elses stock (new blood) each year. I don't ship; just local. I have at least 40 to sell, and I'm sure that I am not alone. I may give some away. I enjoy raising them, and the ones I sell offset the price of care some. Houses and fencing can be much. I even moved some into the hen house that I did not plan to keep because I needed to even out the number and that run and house is the largest. Good luck, and eggs to hatcch may be a good way to go, or a local auction. Like Eggcessive above mentioned... there should be some on here! I plan on letting people in my area know that I have, and maybe one of them will have a few young cockerals (new blood) for me.(I won't keep but a few of mine)
