I have a question for you all. I cannot keep all of those chickens lol what category would I put them under on Craigslist where I could find four of them a good home? I don't want someone getting them for the wrong purpose

Where are u at? How old are they?

I'm in Illinois and they are about four months old. I'm sure one is a rooster and almost sure the other three are hens.

We are overrun with grasshoppers this year. Today I caught one in my laundry room and gave it to my 5 girls who will be 2 weeks old Sunday. Too funny! Every time it jumped they jumped, flapped their wings, and peeped very loudly Finally the RIR got brave and has been making "drive by" pecks at it, but so far it is still alive. This could be hours of fun for them! I sure am hoping they develop a taste for grasshoppers....they'd never go hungry this year!

I got on Craig's list for the first time last night lol they did have a pet section for this area but I didn't see any other type of livestock etc. I am in Texas so that would be a bit of a drive lol

I found a farm section. I just don't want someone killing them or doing cruel animal testing or whatever some of those freaks out there do to animals

Lib, it's a shame I'm so far away. I'd gladly give them a home here with our flock. I hope you find someone who loves their chickens like the rest of us do.


I have another question. (hehe my 6th grade science teacher told me that I'll never learn anything if I don't ask questions, and I took it to heart

) I'm in the market for a incubator. Nothing huge but I want something that has the fan and an automatic turner. Can anyone recommend a good brand. And is it a good idea to purchase a used one? I'm very leery of bringing something in that might have had disease in it.

I like to think the best of everyone, but sometimes you just come across those that wont do you entirely right. If I do buy a used one, is there a sure fire way to disinfect EVERYTHING in it without harming any of the components in it?

I thought I might add that this is a link to the one I'm looking at. There are no reviews on Jeffers but I'd be very interested in opinions on it. This is the first time I've ever shopped for one,and never used one.
