I'm in Springfield Illinois, and do not have any hens for sale, but I'll give you three males if you'll take them. My 10 year old son, Jared, keeps 5 zebras and a pair o goulds. We were given three males about 6 months ago and he thought he might want to find hens for them to breed birds of his own, but has decided that he doesn't want to breed so many now and just wants to keep his one pair of zebras, and pair o goulds. The males were all housed together and feather plucked each other pretty good when we got them. We seperated them and put them in cages next to each other, and their feather quality has improved. They don't look like vultures any more. Any way the zebras have been on the same staple diet we give all of our birds, and Jared does an excellent job of caring for his birds with our guidance as needed. He is just wanting to find a good home for them and would be delighted to know that they might get a chance to breed for someone else.

Let me know if your interested in taking them.

Sean
