Sorry, don't have any for sale, but I saw in a different post you are in MIlan. Well, hi neighbor... We are in Milan, too. I will have bantams in the spring, if you want. We are outside Milan in Milan Township... Might we know each other??? Kathy Tucker

There is usually bantams for sale at the Fowl Fest show in Frankenmuth on October 11 and 12.

Check out the website: www.fowlfest.org

Good Luck,

Any idea what an average cost for a bantam might be? Just hypothetically speaking, of course.

I dont know for other breeds but I did get 9 a piece of 3-4 month old silkie babies.

It all depends.

Last year my daughter bought a cochin bantam for $5.00.

I have seen close to $50 for a bird.

My daughter really wanted a call duck...it was $40. Come to find out that was a good deal. But I am not spending that much on a duck!

I wish we could have ducks but we just don't have the room. Hardly anyone in our county raises them for 4-H. There were only a couple of duck pens at the fair. No competition there at all.

Prices don't seem too bad. I really want to pick up a Polish and a Serama pullet. Maybe we'll get lucky

Theres a lady in Rose City, but thats about 3 to 4 hours from you.

i got 3 from her for 2.00 a piece, I was up there picking up girls from Camp, and she had a sign front of her house.

she is on M31, just east of I-75

There's a guy in St. Clair that has d'uccles and OEGs. His ad ran on bestfarmbuys.com I was really tempted - he sent me some cute photos - but it's really too much of a drive for me.

Thanks for the info. I'm beginning to think I'm on the wrong side of the state for chickens.
