How many sell chicks at Easter?

[chicksgalore]

Just wondering if any of you hatch/sell your chicks around Easter time? Are you able to sell them all?

Local feed stores sell hundreds of them for easter. I don't see why you couldn't sell them then also. Just have to advertise or set up somewhere to get exposier. Good luck

Yep, and with each sale give them a card with your info.. Then after Easter you'll get more than half of them given back to you. The novelty wears off fast.

So many people buy chicks for Easter and don't have the slightest idea of how to care for them.

The newness wears off in a couple of weeks (if they survive that long) and then you have lots of people trying to give them away or they are pratically forgotten about or mistreated.

Personally I will not sell chicks at Easter.

I agree. It's a nice thought, but that cute yellow fluff goes away fast. Personally, I think "teenage" chicks are hysterical, all gawky and patchy looking... BUT most people get chicks on Easter as a novelty. I'm sure you would sell lots, but maybe not to great homes.

the only chicks I sell at easter are to 4H kids or people i know, that know how to take care of them.

I sell all of them except those beautiful golden Buff Orpingtons

; my precious!!!

Just kidding, actually Easter is usually the kick-off of selling chicken season! Last year I sold out of hens April 1st; no Im not joking! Luckily this year there has been more people selling hens local.
