Where can I git some hens...got too many roosters

[Ken Andrews]

I started rasing chicks this spring, what a rush.
Unfortunately, out of 6 chicks I have 3 roosters and 3 hens (for laying)
Don't want to get rid of Roosters but need more hens only.
Live near Albemarle, NC.
Thanks, any variety will do but would prefer Bantys.

Hi Ken and welcome to BYC!

You might try looking in the buy/sell/trade section here on BYC:

Some hatcheries sell started pullets, but the shipping charges are out of this world.
Check your local craigs list, newspapers, do y'all get the Iwanna in that area of NC?

Oooh try your local craigslist. There's always tons of birds on there, at least in my area. Worth checking out though!

MPC only allows the three minimum if you live in a major city. The amounts go up from there.
