Hi - I live in central OK and I am looking for anyone who raises pretty chickens - I am looking for 2-3 baby hens to raise as pets and give me some eggs in my backyard. I am having trouble finding what I want - I don't want the plain old white ones that they are selling at the feed store and to order any I have to order like 25 of them. Also I've found an ad in the paper but they can't tell a boy from a girl and suggested I buy like 10 and then get rid of what I don't want once I can tell which is which - I don't want to take care of 10 baby chickens and I would have no idea who to sell 8 chickens to. I want pretty chickens - like Barred Rocks, Speckled Sussex, Silver Laced Wyandotts - does anyone know of anybody in central Oklahoma that would sell me 2-3 baby hens of one of these breeds?
I'm working on getting a hut built for them and will be looking for chicks in a couple of months.
Who would have thought it was this tricky to buy a chicken?
Also, what is Chickenstock?
Thanks,
Stefani
