Hi folks, I just had my first hatch of the year -
A mixed group of cream Legbars, plus some 3/4 cream Legbar 1/4 wheaten Ameraucana chicks.
They will be blue egg layers.
I do not have a brooder set up, so would rather just sell this lot ASAP. There are 11 chicks, and the 12th is just hatching.
Asking for $80 for all of them together including #12 if it looks good. .
Although I *think* I can see the pure bred Legbars I can make no guarantees on these chicks as the pure eggs were not separated and the buyer should assume they are just blue egg layers.
My wheaten Ameraucana x Legbar Pullets got rehomed so there will be no more of them

Please let me know ASAP if interested as will also list on craigslist.
Thanks!

I wish I was ready for them, but I won't have my new brooder and coop addition finished until March. What an awesome opportunity though! They will be beautiful birds and beautiful eggs! If for some reason you still have some in March, I'd be super interested. Good luck though! If you find a buyer that doesn't want all of them, I'd be interested in buying a few from that person

An interesting piece of information I got today from the vet.

Apparently, all vets are avian vets. According to her, there's no special course you take or anything. The reason why so few vets see birds however and actually tend to them is a matter of personal preference.

Plus it is hard to ask for a consultation fee that is several times the value of the bird.

 

[QueenofKings]

The highest consult fee I've heard thrown around in vet tech/vet rep circles is $200 for a general veterinarian. Specialist fees are around $150-300. The lowest exam/consult fee I've heard about it is $40 and that's for your run of mill cat or dog.

Will anyone be bringing chicks for sale at the next meet up? I am interested in a couple Basques and BLRWs.

I'm looking for Black Ameraucana hatching eggs or pullets. Anyone planning on attending who breeds Black Ams?
