Rooting for the chicks!

OK guys Good Luck and Great Hatching Vibes and Safe Travels to all!
I have a bunch of pullets (and a few Roos) that need to sell, would love for them to find BYC homes. All should make great layers, but are not good enough to stay in my breeding program. They are various colors and color mixes of Marans so may even lay good dark eggs. I really need to thin down my flock, Thanks

If I could get rid of my roos I would be on your door steps to pick some up. I have one big pen full of roosters and then the marans pen is just full of roosters. May have to bite the bullet and invite them to dinner. I am sure your culls are better than my keepers any day.

Thank you Donna

Put an ad on Craigslist may work for you, I get mixed results myself. I have an ad right now with only a couple of calls ,but have done it before and had folks fighting to get them so...

They are on there! There is also that poor person in Shelbyville that has FAIR winner marans for $30 each (GreenFire farms stock) and someone else has Roos for $25, mine have dropped to $7. My culls look at least as good as theirs and maybe better some of them and no replies.

I am just east of Lebanon, about 30 mins east of Nashville. Mostly have "project" blue cuckoo a few blues, I have one huge black girl that has a "shawl" of browny,coppery color across her sholders (from eggs off ebay) all the pullets are between 3 to 5 months so should lay soon. Also have some 2 year olds. Barnevelders (nice) Silver Laced Cochin, Dark Brahma and a couple of mixes. The two year old pure breeds from my prev. breeding pens just need to make room for my Marans.
