Friday night I lost 2 people I knew, 1 of which was like a sister to me, in a motorcycle accident on cooper mountain.
I have a bunch of extra chicks/chickens I just can't deal with right now on top of everything else.....
I would like to offer them for sale for a steal of a price just to get the numbers down and get some relief. I have way to many right now and am just overwhelmed...... These are all worth way more then list price and I will give a huge discount for 5 or more chicks...... I will donate most of these chicks to a 4h home as well so please contact me for details.

They are not from hatchery birds! The parents are all show and breeding quality stock who do very well in the eastern states.

What I have is:
3 weeks old $5 each
All are LF and are strait run but I have sold most I "think" are the males. Its still possible I missed one or two in the bunch.....
2 Barred Rock
2 Splash Jersey Giants
3 Black Jersey Giants
1 blue Jersey Giant
3 Black TRUE Ameraucanas

2 RARE Gold laced Brahmas $20 each

8 weeks old $15 each
Showgirl Silkies while, partridge and splash

2 Silkie roosters $10 each or fee if you buy anything else!
1 is really nice BQ splash, is almost 2yrs old, he has a correct comb but his comb is a little bit to red and he got into a fight with my rabbit and lost a toe nail... long story....
1 is a really nice white boy, 1 year old who is great with the girls and amazing with chicks. Could be shown but he is moulting right now so isn't 100%.

I would like to rehome them ASAP as I have 2 funerals coming up this weekend then I am getting married the following weekend.

So this is just killing me to think about and I can only let him go to a good home, not the dinner table, but I am trying to rehome Ricky. he's about 16 weeks old I think and is a very nice boy, but I had a neighbor complain today; not so much complain as comment on Ricky's early crowing in a not too pleased manner. So sad, but I just can't put the time and effort into crating him nightly. If anyone could use a sweet boy for their flock please let me know!!!

So sorry to hear of your loss.

I hope you find good homes for your birds.

Though I completely missed the rat discussion, I still feel that I must mention the .22 as a fantastic solution. It's target practice and pest control at the same time!

Yes that is a good solution too EXCEPT in most area's it is NOT LEGAL to shoot a gun, but it is legal to use snap traps or bait sticks

I caught a few with the snap traps by putting the bait under the trigger and not on top of it. Their buddies must have saw them dead in the traps

, because they stopped biting at the traps. so I put out bait sticks. and with seven snap traps still set, we killed nine rats in about 1 1/2 months but NO more by the snap traps

What kind of rooster is he?

 

[FirewifeJess]

What kind of rooster is he?

Appenzellar Spitzhauben/EE x Hatch date 4/16 (making him 15.5 weeks old), he's the same size or larger than all my 18 week old pullets.

 

[FirewifeJess]

What kind of rooster is he?

You aren't far from me either, I'd be willing to deliver him if he isn't going to the dinner table. He's such a good boy! I got him from Dawn up in Kirkland when he was 7 weeks old and he's always been such a gentleman to the ladies!

 

[Chubby Chicken]

I'm sorry, I can't take him. I can only take in bantam cochins. I love his dots though. Are you out of city limits, can you LEGALLY keep him?

 

[Chubby Chicken]

I have to decided start a lemon blue bantam cochin project. I am looking for quality Splash, Brown-red or lemon blues. I also put an ad up. Wish me luck, I have bantam cochins in my heart.

In Covington, we can have roosters. No issue there. BUT, my chicken run comes within 10' of the property line and I don't want my next door neighbor getting fed up with Ricky and turning us in. It would be AWFUL to have to move the coop and run! EEK!
