I have been looking online a recently to replace some of my girls that sadly didn't hold out well with a weasel attack, health issues and the like. Wanted to go with started pullets to avoid the issues with having roosters (Which I love, just can't have them where I rent). $165 for a 1.5 old 'friendly' hen from a 'prominent' hatchery/breeder. Some of the bigger hatcheries...$100 for a five week old not hard to find or get layer variety. Some sites lumping Ameraucanas in with Easter Eggers and Araucanas likes its not a thing, chicks dipped in Essential Oils which is probably in my humble opinion one of the greatest marketing schemes aside from 'crafted' sandwiches and bottled water. 14 different feed varieties that shockingly enough have almost identical nutrition values just in different bags from the same company. A guy that sells firewood down the road from me has several huge signs...'Non GMO Organic Firewood for Sale'. Its amusing as all hell, but I'm smart enough to know its meant to be amusing and funny.
Honestly feel I am taking stupid pills on the regular when I Google search, read forums on various sites and talk to vendors. Anyone ever really tried to walk with a chicken on a leash and had smashing, all out hit success with friends and family? If I had any hair left, think it would have just all fallen out.
