Chickens - bantam cochin chicks and hens

Santa Barbara CA

Description

I have 13 chicks atm. These are bantam cochin mixes. There are two batches. One that hatched mid April and the other late April. Then there is a pair. In total I am looking to sell and or rehome about 9 chicks. It seems like a majority are going to be hens, but it is hard to say for certain with a few yet. There are three that are almost definitely going to be roosters. I’m looking to have them all go, as many together as possible. Even though the rooster who sired all these chicks has no frizzle feathers, the fact a few of the chicks are frizzles leads me to believe one of his parents was a frizzle. Therefore if you breed them the gene is likely to pop up again (the chicks are in the first pics) I also have three fully grown hens. The blackish/blue is less than a year old, and the gold speckled one in the pic next to that is the same age. The other golden one that is less speckled (it is a buff) is about a year and a half old. In the last pics is a pair of chicks, one being a hen and a rooster. I had to save the boy’s life when he was a day old because the mom didn’t think he was hers and started pecking him. I brought him inside with the remaining eggs that hen had been sitting on, and one hatched, which is the other chick. So these two have been together since the beginning and are kind of inseparable. Therefore I'm looking to make sure they go somewhere together The ideal situation is that wherever these chickens go they will either be treated as pets. Or if they are eventually eaten, then at least they'll have a good life until then and be treated humanely. But bamtams make good pets, because they are much smaller and tamer than other breeds. From what I've observed they also seem to lay eggs for quite a few years The chicks are $20 each. If some look like they are definitely roosters I can give those for free. The full grown hens are $25 each.
