We have four chicks that we got for easter when they were just tiny tiny babys After racking our brains to figure out how to get them a nice safe house, we have come up with nothing. They are growing really fast, and the neighborhood cats are and have gotten a hold of a couple of them, so we need to re home them ASAP. I do not know the name of the breed, but they are all golden in color.

Thank you

Yep the Easter freak's alway's killed me too.The last time I sold anything was 3 year's ago when a couple drove over an hour one way to buy 2 chick's for their 2 kid's for Easter.They didn't touch anything or the chick's themselve's and was scraping thier shoe's off before they got in their Navigator.Baaaaaaaa.I don't sell any to anyone that is afraid of the poo's and the smell and dirt. And definatley warn off new duckling buyer's!Hope those bird's find a good home that is prepared for them.Most of my past customer's were repeat buyer's or at least accustomed to knowing what the care was for the bird's but you alway's got some that aren't ready for the work, time and care that they take.
