Want chicks? Neighbors of mine got chicks – but they’re allergic to feathers.
The birds are about a week old – Rhode Island Red, Brown Leghorn, and a Cornish Cross meatbird. From Farm and Fleet/Cackle Hatchery. Supposed to be sexed pullets. No vaccinations.
If you’ve got chick experience (esp meatbird experience) and are interested, I’m trying to find them a good home together. Be aware that if the meatbird eats all she wants, she will reach “harvest” weight at 6-8 weeks. Then she may go lame due to her weight or have heart problems. To help her live her best life, you’ll have to control the food intake she gets.
If you’re interested, contact me at murtoff AT gmail.
