Good deal. Run- don't walk.

 

[nccountrygirl]

you better run, I'm paying 4.50 a chick to make sure they are all females.

 

[suenrob]

Thanks!!!! I replied to the ad right away, just waiting for a phone call. Hope they aren't already gone!!!!!

Ps. what is the mortality rate of chicks that young? I've never bought any that young.

 

[silkiechicken]

Sounds like a good deal if they are healthy and not mutts. Mortality of non shipped chicks is about oh, 2% if they make it out of the shell. Mortality on birds from the feed store is a bit higher. I don't count on my birds dying on me though.
