Ive got some Buckeyes, Australorps and Orpingtons to sell. And will have some Ameraucanas for sale in a couple weeks, will sell males females pairs, price depends on what you want also will make a deal if you buy the whole lot. Also two trios of Blue and Black Langshans they are $100 a trio, or will make a deal. Really need these birds gone so I can cut down on my feed bill.

This is just a shout out to anyone on this thread that's in the St. Louis area.
I'm a co-organizer of the St. Louis Backyard Chicken Meetup group. We have almost 650 members.
One needs to join in order to see the content because we share a lot of personal information.
It's not just for people in St. Louis but the whole metropolitan area so all nearby are welcome to join.
We do coop tours, educational events and other poultry related social things.
