Thank you! I'll keep that in mind.Most breeders do not like to sell chicks because they are difficult to raise and when a non-experienced person loses the chick they tend to come back on the breeder giving them a bad reputation. You have choices though, you can find eggs and try to hatch a chick and raise it singularly so it bonds to you, or find a young hatchling, or buy an established chick or a yearling. Most of us who raise chicks can note that some are naturally friendly and will come up to us, those are the birds you want to try to find when looking for a pet and normally they are old enough to determine the sex. You need to ask breeders for a bird like that or roll the dice and get a hatchling or some eggs.
