If yours are all boys you can keep me in mind I can hatch some for you. I can't ship though so would have to pick up and I also haven't got to do much with mine yet so I only sell them as pet quality. Mine are non bearded also. This is my favorite hen Lucy at a few months old.

Where are you at? I have several colors in bearded and non bearded. But mine are still chicks. They are 7&8 weeks old now.

Lucy is beautiful

I'm in South central Pennsylvania. I wish I had more colors but I'm limited with space right now mostly due to my mixed flock and my ducks. The next birds I will get once I make room is seramas and peafowl the mixed flock stays they are my children. The ducks would be the ones to go or build another coop (I already have two 4x8 coops and a 4x4 coop)

Ok, not on the other side of the US at least! Oh tell me about it, I have a mixed flock that I love but also 2 small growout pens and then the silkie coop. I've been trying to move some around to free up space.
There's a lady in Columbus Ohio with really nice bearded silkies that I thought about getting chicks from, but the timing was never right. That's an option for Roos and I think she ships.

That's happened to me a few times on different things. Hope you didn't pay for him, she could have been a scammer.
