Young laying hens just starting to lay. We are no just trying to get rid of old hens. These were chicks from late last summer. They are excellent hens, I just have too many eggs. You can go spend $6 to $8 on a newly hatched chick, put $20 worth of feed into it, take care of it for 6 months, along with heat lamps, dealing with those that die, etc. Or you can buy these that all of that has already been done. I have Rhode Island Reds and Black Australorps. I am getting an egg each day from nearly all of them. They are $25 each. Call or text 989-three 04-1020.
