Chick Study Chicks - Chicagoland area

[Djrdn]

Hi all! In April I am doing a chick study with a group of kids, and I am thinking about using eggs from my own flock for the kiddos to incubate. We will incubate a couple dozen eggs or more if we are able to move forward with this. I have Silverlaced Wyandottes and Rhode Island Reds. Chicks will be a combination of straight Silver Laced Wyandottes and Wyandotte-RIR mixes. My question is do you think I would have a good chance of finding homes for all of them if I sweeten the deal by vaccinating them for Marek’s disease and giving them away in straight runs of threes? I don’t know if I should try selling them. The only caveat is that takers would have to pick them up from me. I am trying to see if I will be permitted to arrange a scheduled pickup in a park or outside our institution. Im located in the Chicagoland area.

Post your info on the Illinois State thread. There are peeps that may have answers for You.
I am active there also. I would consider taking 2 or so chicks,,, but they would have to be pullet chicks. Cant have any roosters in my area.

THANK YOU! This feels promising. I wonder what I could do if I’m left with lots of roosters. Heading over to post in the Illinois thread now. Hope to see you there in April!
