Chirping
Hi! Im going to pick up a couple of 2 week old silkie chicks next sat from a farm i found on craigslist. They r one week now and the farm isnt open except sat and sun so i have to wait!! mean while i am new to chickens i have 3 6 week olds pullets i received a couple weeks ago so thats the extent of my chicken knowledge.
my question is when i contacted this person via text message they said they had white silkie hens for 25 and one week old silkie chicks indexed but not sexed for 7. What does indexed mean? I can not find the meaning anywhere online and even tho he put his number in for texting he was frustrated with having to text and wanted to talk on the phone instead therefore didnt answer my question about what indexed means. (I was with family at the time so i wanted to avoid the phone then).
can anyone help? Thanks so much!!!
Ps if there are any tips or anything that a beginner should know about chicks in general or with the silkie breed please share. TIA
