On my local craigslist they were asking $20 for a pullet.

i suppose thats what byc is here for! i will keep an eye out for chickens after easter and i will "rescue" them from being unwanted...

we should start a thread, and we can post the links to those particular ads?

maybe call it "unwanted easter babies" ???

how could we do it by state?

we could just put the name of the state first thing on the post before the other stuff like
GEORGIA- free chicks< see that way it would be easy pickins

This sounds a lot like what they do for valentines day with flowers....

I saw an ad on Craigsist last night someone had put in to accept easter Chicks after the "oooo!" wore off - then next easter they could come and get another chick, and bring it back, etc...

Not sure about the revolving chicks part, but putting an ad on craigslist might not be a bad idea.

yeah, some ppl are deffinately playing up the prices for easter. i am half tempted to buy up some chicki's that people buy their kids for present before realizing the chickens need a lot of care lol. maybe i can find me a EE that way....
