So guess how many chicks are roos out of 8

[Ashleychickenlady]

Looks like 7! I bought eight straight run baby bantam chicks from the feed store. Seven of them have combs. And they all act sort of dominant when I open the cage. EEEEEPPP!

What should I do?

 

[CrazyChickMom]

What can you do? How old are they? If you post pictures I bet some people on here would no for sure.

 

[Ashleychickenlady]

Seven of them are 3 weeks old. And the other lost it's friends to an Opossum...so I put it with the babies, But it's about 6 weeks old I guess.
I will try and put some pics up soon.

Time to read up on the meat bird section

 

[vortec]

If you don't want all of them post an ad for them on craiglist.org. I put up an ad for 16 roos and within 2 days I had 20 responses and they were all picked up. Don't feel like you are stuck with them

haha. I can't make them "meat birds" they have names

haha

And the craigslist idea is amazing. I love that site.

I had my doubts about it at first but I was amazed by the full inbox I had on the first night and I had plenty of new messages until I took the ad down when the roos were gone.

I've heard people have good luck getting rid of roos on Craiglist, but I think they go easier as food than they do as pets. I've had my ad on there for a week and not one response!
