h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

People procure poultry in many different ways. Many times, a local feed store will sell chicks in the spring, and may have chickens of various ages available occasionally. Other people have found chickens near them on Craigslist, or via groups on Facebook. There are many hatcheries to be found that sell online and via mailorder, and chicken breeders also have websites. One can also sometimes rescue spent hens from egg farms--quite often, the hens are only 2-3 years old, so they're still laying, just not every day. Hatching eggs can be bought from hatcheries and breeders, and are also available on EBay*. BYC has a section for buying, selling and trading hatching eggs, day-old chicks, older chicks, and adult chickens, as well as other animals and inanimate objects.


*Live animals can not be bought on EBay, though some sellers will circumvent the rules by offering a 'hatching service'.

Just a short bit tonight--Tom and I are going out, and I don't know if I'll be back online when we get back.

I hope you and Tom have a thoroughly enjoyable night out together.

["Who's there?" "Just us chickens." I've always wanted to be able to say that. ]
