Rehoming Baby Chicks

Lakewood WA

Description

Spousal miscommunication -- it happens! In this case, the miscommunication was that one of us thought that the hens would raise their own chicks, while the other of us was worried that the neighborhood cats would eat them all, and insisted that we raise them indoors. For the next five months. We learned of our communication difficulty as the first eggs hatched. So! Now we have seven baby chicks available for rehoming. They are being handled several times a day, so they are human-friendly. A $10 rehoming fee takes all 7 of them -- must take as a group, sorry. The father is a full-blooded Cochin, and the mothers are a bantam Cochin, and a Lavender Orpington. All three parents were hatched from MyPetChicken.com eggs, and kept together since birth. They are all from eggs, so they are straight-run -- that is, we don't know which ones are girls and which ones are boys. The oldest chick is 8 days old, the next eldest two are 4 days old each, and the last four are all 2 days old. All must go as a group.
