Farm chatter

I'm still looking at ways to line up chicks- sent this email to a local farm (with chickens and plenty of space for more, i"ve seen)

Hello,
My name is --------- and I am a -------- student in ---------. I love chickens (I have four myself) and am very interested in hatching eggs. Unfortunately, I don't have space for any more chickens. Would you be potentially interested in taking female Cream Legbar chicks? Cream Legbars are an autosexing breed, so it is possible to know at hatch what gender they are. I would also be willing to raise female chicks to the age of seven weeks old, which is the age that they can move outside and start integration into an adult flock. This would be ideal if you're not interested in brooding chicks. I am assuming that you aren't interested in male chicks, but if you are, that would be amazing because they're so difficult to find homes for.
I plan to hatch around 15 eggs, and with a good hatch rate, I'll get 12 chicks. This will probably leave me with 6 female chicks and 6 male chicks, but I could have anywhere from 0-15 females. If you're interested in potentially taking even one or two of those, that would be amazingly helpful. I don't have a timeframe for this, but I am thinking early or late summer of 2021, or maybe spring of 2022. I am not positive that this will happen, because I need to line everything up before talking to my parents. I also understand if you aren't interested in this proposal.
Thank you for your time!
