Yes. The rush here has subsided but I don't think I can go wrong at .50 each.

There's usually a few roosters in a bunch like that.
So you'll have some chicken dinners also.

you did great I would have bought them all as well. I love geting them.whrh the are getin big and they mark them down. Often they are fully feathers and can go outside and it's a few less weeks of feed cost and cleaning uo after them when they are not as small. Win win in my book.

At least in Ohio, the high demand for chickens and quail to produce eggs has died hard. Cheap and even free chickens are readily available now, as are quail. Many of the new keepers have decided keeping layers is smelly and too much work. The market is currently very flooded. I went from selling out every week to not selling much at all the last 3 weeks. This was by far the slowest weekend of the year for chick sales for us.

Interesting. I've been trying to buy half a dozen or so chicks from Tractor Supply for a couple months now. They told me they sell out within 2 hours of receiving them. I checked yesterday... all they had were a few ducks. Guess I'll have to pull out the ol incubator.

These are feathered out. They went straight into my outside chick pens..no changing paper.

I'll sell a few now as chick's and raise most out.

The came to 53.00 and.some.change..I was gonna buy 40 for 40 so I thought 13 more for an extra 59 chicks was a steal.lol

I have had no death loss as of yet

Our tractor supply and the feed store had chick's that were feathered out to the other day.

We're on the way now to our local livestock sale barn. They're having a caged animal sale today
.which usually is poultry and rabbits.

Well see what we can buy

Catherine, did a big guy named Levi just buy the rabbits and chickens at the auction you went to. He contacted me about buying a bunch he just picked up.
