Hi I'm Ivy, I'm 20 years old. I have had pet chickens almost all my life. Up until now. I recently lost my beloved serama hen. I've been looking on craigslist frequently for people selling serama or silkie chicks around my area because those are the kind of breeds I've enjoyed having the most. But I've not been having any luck. Someone recommended me to this site. So maybe I could find some local breeders or nearby breeders. I've also been looking at buying chickens online but that is expensive and can be risky I hear. I live in the Colorado spring area. Hopefully this site can help me find a new feather friend. I also hope to be part of what looks like a wonderful community of chicken enthusiasts Thanks, Ivy!
to BYC! Sorry about your hen. I know how it is to lose a beloved bird. You might start here in your states thread and chat with people in your area. Maybe they can help you.... https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/68894/colorado You might also check out the Buy Sell and Trade section here for possible close connections.... https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/67/buy-sell-trade If you want to place an ad here on BYC, you will need 20 posts to do so. You can welcome in some new member here to get your post count up. Great to have you aboard and enjoy BYC!
My friend has silkies and seramas as pets - she doesn't raise any tho. Hers came from NY and Ohio. You might also check out the AMERICAN SERAMA thread and SILKIE THREAD ( put in search box) there are active groups in both breeds and I'm sure Colorado must have it's share.
