What breeds did you buy? How much are you selling the chicks for?

You'll have to eat what you can't sell or give away.

I got Rhode Island reds they are only 4.5 weeks old I’m hoping to sell them at 4-5 months…

Depending on where you live, I find craigslist a good venue. You need to post amazing photos and really play up the qualities of your birds.
Whatever you do, do not offer them for free. Free stuff brings out all the crazies!
Good luck.

RIRs can be found at almost any feed store such a TSC. You may have to sell them as meat birds or adult laying hens.

Do you know if they are female or male? You shouldn’t have much trouble selling the females, I would think. Wait till they are off of heat, that’s also a plus for many people.

I’ve been thinking of Craigslist maybe I’ll try it out!

What are you charging? Rhode Island Reds are pretty much common as mud everywhere, it's a tough market to sell them more than a feed store.
