Where can I find chickens For Sale?

There are more and more people selling poultry these days as the hobby becomes more popular. Here are a few suggestions as to where you can find Chicken For Sale:

• If you are in the U.K. then visit our Breeders directory to see if there is somebody near to you. If you are selling poultry on a regular basis and would like to be included in this list or advertise on the breeders pages then please contact us.
• Poultry Magazines often have adverts in the back from readers who have surplus stock although often it is hard to get in there first unless you get the magazine the minute it comes out.
• Our Poultry Forum has a chickens for sale section that is usually quite busy with people advertising surplus birds.
  

Remember like with breeders of any animals, there are good poultry breeders and there are bad. Ask questions and examine birds. If you see any birds that look sick, ask what is wrong with those birds. It is not worth the risk of introducing disease into the flock and any reputable breeder should be able to tell you exactly what is going on. Check stocking densities and whether birds are being housed in adequate conditions. You should know the basics of what a chicken needs before visiting a breeder from these pages so check that they are being looked after correctly. If they are not and you have suspicions, then don't buy them as the chances are they will give you problems further down the line.
