I've got too many chickens!!
As if there were such a thing...but, I'm running out of space, so some of what I've hatched this spring needs to find new homes. I'm located in southern Maryland, pick up only.
I've got:
5 or 6 young started Polish, White Crested Black (large fowl). These are about 6 weeks old. Too young to sex accurately. All are pet quality; these are birds that, for one reason or another, I'm not keeping to breed. They'd be great pets though, and even though the Polish are really only bred as an ornamental fowl, my hens are actually very reliable layers of nice, medium-size eggs throughout the warmer months--so if you kept their crests trimmed, these could probably get along as part of a backyard laying flock.
3 or 4 Marans cockerals, cuckoo and one white "sport". 6 weeks old. Sorry, no pullets! I hatched way too many roosters this spring. These birds are from very good breeders--egg color in these lines is very nice. None of these guys were hatched from eggs lighter than a 5 or 6.
3 Ameraucana chicks, 1 week old. From my pen with a splash rooster over blue hens. The chicks are splash, I only want to keep the blues right now. These guys are out of birds that do meet the standards for true Ameraucana, but I think there is some off-"blood" in the line. I cannot be sure that these chicks won't grow out w/willow legs or other traits undesirable for a true Ameraucana--so to be fair and honest, you may want to consider them Easter Eggers.
Pics of most of the parent birds can be seen on my web site (link in my sig line). I can probably get photos of the actual birds if someone is interested, just email me (link on my web site or under my avatar). I'm an NPIP participant.
$5 each for the Marans cockerals, $4 each or $10 for all 3 Ameraucana chicks...$20 for all of the Polish, I'd love for them to go all together...would make my life easier! Or make me an offer on all of the birds! Pick up only. I might be able to drive a reasonable distance to meet someone if you're interested in most or all of the birds. Sorry, gas is just too expensive to drive if you just want a couple of chicks, but feel free to come get 'em!
Thanks,
Maria
