Try Preloved, Birdtrader, Gumtree to name the ones I have had the most success with!

I've sold some chicks on Preloved too Craig, but I had a blog where I told my chicken keeping story, and sold most of them from there!

I think gumtree are / have stopped people selling chickens / livestock - pets are still ok though.

Whilst we are on a similar subject, just wanted share my last experience of selling surplus chickens. I placed an add on gumtree (didnt realise at the time this site had a classified section) for 2 chickens as i was getting too many eggs.
I had a bit of an odd caller, wasnt really interested in what i was selling but trying to get information out of me about what else i had and what ages etc. It was at the time when there were a few posts on here about chickens / chicks being stolen.
The call made me very uncomfortable and i removed the add and took them to mellton and got more than what i was asking for on gumtree.

Sounds obvious to point out but be please be cautious when giving addresses out to potential buyers.
Doesnt mean everyone out there is dodgy but this particular call i had was definatley not the normal and far too interested in where i was and what i wasnt selling

Of course not, but I don't update it much anymore since I retired, but a good read if you want to learn how not to start with chickens!
