I ordered a some assortment chicks (Meyer Hatchery) that hatched this past weekend and now that I've got them identified, there are four I'd like to rehome.

I'm 90% sure of the breeds, but no guarantees.
Golden Campine - hatchery sexed Female
Light Brown Leghorn (edit: this might be a Barnevelder, the cheek making aren't very Leghorn) , hatchery sexed Female
Black Cochin Bantam (possibly with a frizzle gene) - straight run
Easter Egger Bantam - straight run

I'm near the junction of 2 and 495, and might be able to deliver/meet up, depending on distance and direction. Best if you can take all four.

Can I ask why you are getting rid of them?

 

[timechicken]

Yep. I am limited to how many birds I can keep, and since I've had bad luck with losses on the last couple orders, I ordered extra chicks, expecting some to die in transit. They're all really healthy this time, so I let my kid pick her favorites and am looking to rehome the rest.

Edit to ad: I have someone interested in the large fowl, but would really prefer to send them all to the same place, for simplicity sake. If I can find someone is interested in just the bantams, I'm willing to consider splitting them.

To be honest I would consider the Cochin if it wasn't straight run, I already got my rooster and would like a Cochin or Cochin bantam pullet, if anyone has this let me know , thanks

Hiya, Dunbar, I do lots of shopping at Hannafords in North Brookfield and most always wear a straw hat with rooster sickle feathers in the band. If you shop there and see me say howdy.

I'm from Marstons Mills, and must say that there are not too many breeders on Cape
Cod, but check craigslist and you can find just about anything. I found Lemon Cuckoo
Orpingtons at very reasonable prices from a lady in Derry N.H.
