What to do with packing peanuts.

[parkersmom120106]

I got my order from ideal last Thursday, and they included 14 extra RIR males as packing peanuts. Well, everyone is alive and appear healthy. Even my little spraddle legged barred rock miraculously healed herself lol. I can't even tell which one it was. They're growing like weeds and already getting little feathers on their wings. I'm running out of room in the brooder, so I need to find someplace for the RIR males. Any ideas? I was going to post an ad to craigslist, but it's not letting me. It says that my account needs to be authenticated by phone, but then doesn't tell me how to do that when I click on the link. Grr. Is it hard to get rid of a bunch of boy chicks? Should I post them on the buy sell trade forum here?

If you don't need them give them away, to your feed store or possibly sell on egg-bid

it seems like there might be another way to authenticate besides phone. they didn't use to do that before all the spammers. most things i want to do on there, there seems to be another way. you can also post under "free" which is in the section that has furntiure,jewlery, etc for sale. you might not need an account to post there. techncialy you can't do free animals there, but people do it and they usually go very quickly so by the time someone flags you, you'll have probably taken the ad down yourself. thanks for addressing this issue early on and not letting them grow up to beat up on each other, your other animals, yourself, your kids, etc. and then be "so surprised" as people always seem to be when they've got a million roosters in one area. lol. good luck

Thanks ya'll. I'll try posting under free on craigslist. Hopefully someone will take them all at one time to raise for meat or something.

you are going to make some some nice, hardworking but not exactly rich person like myself very happy in your area.

You could also try freecycle.org if CList won't let you list them.

[Master S.M.C]

She probably ordered about 11 or so, they add packing penuts to fill large hatchery boxes (total of 25)

 

[Master S.M.C]
