Selling straight-run Silkies?

[Willow's Meadow]

When you guys order your straight-run silkies do you put the cocks on craigslist or how do you sell them? Do you have a lot of success with craigslist? Do people usually take silkie cocks or is it difficult for you to find a home for them?

Since it takes forever fo rme to know if they are male or not, we wind up keeping them.

I keep everything till I know what is what sometimes by 6-7 months sometimes longer. If I don't need roo's I sell or give them away to friends/family or sometimes have sold them on craigslist.

I just sold a pullet and gave them a Cockerel for free. It's easier that way for me, unless it's a sought after color then it's pretty easy to sell them.

Craigslist works somewhat. Or best farm buys, kijiji, hoobly, agriculture online or make a poster with a pic and post it at the feed store. (I have links for all those sites if you need 'em)

Do you have a chicken swap/sale in your area? That's how most everyone I know gets rid of them. Ask around or check BYC topic for swaps/sales in your area. You meet some very nice people there.....most of which are as crazy as you are (about chickens, of course).

kijiji just turned into ebay classifieds. There is a link at the top of ebay's homepage. I just put an add on craigslist for a silkie roo and sold him the same day. He was only pet quality, which I stated in the add. So I was shocked how fast he went.
