What age to sell Maran chicks at?

Postby Clovis&co » Thu Jul 29, 2010 1:58 pm

Hi everyone! My oldest Maran chick is gona be 10 wks old this Sunday. The other 6 chicks are no more than 7 days younger. What is a good age to start selling them at? I bought my first 6 Marans when they were 9 wks old & the next 5 girls I bought when they were 14 wks old. Would anyone on this site be interested in buying French Copper Black Marans off me? I've never bothered sexing them & I guess I'll have to do that so that I can let people know what they're buying. They were not hatched from incubated eggs, the hens did all the work themselves. They're a happy, healthy, greedy bunch! (I know this is probably pathetic & I'd never be able to make a poultry breeder) but I'd love for them to go to a spacious, kind home! I'd hate to know they're cooped up in a small place 'cause at present they have it really good! Ta, Kim

Hi, I have 6 chicks left. Anytime you'd like to look at them, let me know. I don't know how people do this in these situations but I'm in Multy, so it's not too far if you wano take a look we have to arrange contacting ea other. I suppose it's easier than rounding them up, driving with them & then you don't want them! I'll check the site again tomorrow for a reply. Thanks, Kim
