Oooh I just got some money and I want to use it for one thing only... At first I was thinking for a new haircut over the summer BUT I was thinking about lap chickens! There was this cute little bantam Mrs. Olvera's daughter was carrying around and I felt slightly jealous because well, I love cuddly huggable chickens!
We don't go to this ranch anymore because their chickens have buggies... So the animal auction in Lancaster is our best bet.
Unfortunately, being a quiet observer there I've noticed the bantams (both hen and roo) are auctioned as high as 500 dollars. Oh my god... Well the roosters go that high the hens are more like 200-300 dollars. I have around 50 bucks

Judging by that what do you guys think the auction price of a bantam chick would go?

That's my first question. My second is breed. I'll send NoseyChickens a PM asking what breed that one tiny girl was.. It was orange and had black and white spots all over it. It looked like it had muffs but I can't really remember. Please help with breed and breed pricing.

Third question is, well if the animal auction and it's apparently rich buyers don't work with my budget, where else can I go? If you live in California around my zipcode 93523 do you know of any places that has chickens for a decent price?

Ugh it stings me everyday... Wanting these nice chickens. Also, if anyone has bantam chicks (I'll update this when I find out the breed) PM me... I am willing to do chicken trading, as I don't like some of my cochin pullets (I guess I don't have enough patience for them). Theres a lovely black one I call Evil Eyes and she's beautiful but doesn't like to be picked up or touched. I also have blue cochins too.
 
Did it look like this?

That is a Mille Fleur Belgian D Uccle
I would think that you could find someone around you that has them for a lot less than $500

Yes very much alike! What's their temperment like? Like the average one..
What other good docile breeds are there?
Don't tell me cochins (someone on here told me that cochins were good and when I got cochins they were wrong! D: )

All animals have their own personalities. One may be wonderful and one may be awfull.
 
If you want a chicken that is more like a cat that you can literally hold and pet get a silkie. they are soft, can be very tame and just fit in more as a pet than other chickens! Just my 2 cents.
