MINE!!!!I have a ton of chicks I need to get out of my basement. To make room for the ones I am keeping and to help lighten my load a little bit. So I will be offering up chicks but they are older than a week old they are 2 weeks to 2 months old. They are jumping out of the brooders and running around my basement. They are driving me mad. Tired of cleaning up chicken poo everywhere. Too cold at night still for them to go outside. I am over loaded right now with chicks.

Oh, forgot to ask. I didn't see my name on the list so I don't know when I am to offer up. Lol
So, I have been sick for 2 weeks, adn gone for one of them. Look what happened while my back was turned!
What happens when you don't watch your silkies closely...
Spring at my house
her turkey eggs didn't make it, so she has chicks under her now, and a few eggs she stole that may hatch today and tomorrow.
Floppy comb, now with pips! She will only eat if you hold fodder up to her and she tries to attack it, we have had to hand feed her and Liva Drusa ( above) for 30 days now! They were sharing eggs until I moved LD last night with her chicks.
Why I am not currently trading turkey eggs ( pumpkins has 12 eggs and a few chicken she will not let me take) Stuffing is currently a 9-5 broodie lovingly sitting on some old Mango seeds not sitting at night but not laying. She decided she was going to get up before I got her picture, ill post some later .
And Behind door #3!
Ester, who only started laying this month, little Icelandic. She gets kicked off her eggs once a day by Catalina, who likes to lay where people will sit on her eggs. She currently has some favorell and FCBM eggs I got in the WYGS march.
And now onto the silkie cave, where if one hen sees someone sitting, you have BROODIES GONE WILD!!!
Pandcake the flattest chicken I ever saw, who was willing to be moved to another spot to have her own nest. SMART pancake.
These 3... not so willing ( we will try to move one out tomorrow at least!) Sparkles didn't even START laying, she just saw the excitement and decided it was for her. They have been stealing every egg layed for a week or 2 before I caught them, so this hatch is gonna be a mess!
I'm going to try y super stealth technique to move sparkles onto my next egg shipment assuming it gets here soon.
And! In the abandoned nesting boxes,
Looks like a lot of eggs right? clearly she needs help! Smokey stepped in because really, who can see eggs and NOT sit on them?
( I use some sand in this coop, and they get dreads when they sandbath, eat fodder, then sleep under the shelf. If she weren't broody I'd give her a bath)
That gives me as of this morning, not counting Stuffing, NINE broodies. Moral of the story, DON'T LET SILKIES OR TURKEYS SEE EGGS!

MINE!!!!
Yeah, I have silkies, LF Marans, LF EE Some I don't even know what they are. I know I have more just can't think right off hand. Guess I need to do an inventory so I know. Pretty much I will be offering chicks and whoever gets my offer will get to choose the ones they want if they win them.

5 LF Cuckoo Marans chicks, 1 Dun OEGB, 1 pair of LF OEGB, 4 LF EE, 2 Smooth white silkie chicks & 5 LF mystery chicks all are 1 month - 2 months old.
5 LF Cuckoo Marans chicks, 1 Dun OEGB, 1 pair of LF OEGB, 4 LF EE, 2 Smooth white silkie chicks & 5 LF mystery chicks all are 1 month - 2 months old.
The reverse is today, right? So in 15 minutes?
You don't have to send 25. GFF has sent 12 chicks and they were fine. I wouldn't go below 10.I still need to know how many chicks I need to ship for them to get sent through the PO. It's for the reverse swap!
I lost the list for the reverse swap. Will you please post it again? Thank you!
