Apparently I can't do chicken math.... that's 90 eggs!

84 eggs in..... 48 shipped chicken eggs, 35 local chicken eggs, 7 local duck eggs!

2-4 dozen and I'll take them as soon as someone has that many. I am ready to set! I actually live in Denver now so I could definitely meet you in DTC.

WANTED: Fertile hatching eggs. Ducks, heritage chickens, purebreed chickens, mutts.... what do you have?

I'm not sure when I'll place the order. The website I was looking at will have them available as early as February 10th. Just in time for a Valentine's present. But I was also researching when to raise them. I read an article that if you hatch and raise them outside of their natural time of year...

Anyone have any interest in ordering ducks next year? I was thinking about adding some runners to my flock. I can order an assortment of runners, (black, blue, chocolate). They will arrive day old. With shipping the 6 that I had in my shopping cart were going to be $70. Obviously if we order...

I know egg production is down for most right now..... but I will be looking for some heritage eggs to hatch after the first of the year. Does anyone have some fertilized pure breed eggs they will sell? If so, what breeds? I tried ordering eggs from mypetchicken last year and was pretty...

Anyone in the market for chicks? I have some 9 week olds and some 4 week olds to get rid of. They're straight run so your guess is as good as mine.

I sent customer service an email explaining that I was disappointed with the porosity of the eggs and the way that they were shipped. I told them how many eggs showed no signs of life by day ten. Their response... you should've waited until day 14 to discard. We usually have good luck with the...

For those of you that have been following, the eggs went into lockdown last night. I was disappointed to see that all but one of the shipped eggs have quit on me. So out of 13 "blue" breeds from MyPetChicken, I ended up with on Blue Ameraucana going into lockdown. Eleven out of my twelve local...

I believe it is much like a farmer's market or flea market. You can just walk around and look at stuff if you want.

I was correct in my disappointing assumption of MyPetChicken. Of the 13 "blue" breeds that they shipped only 3 showed sign of life after 10 days. One could argue that maybe it was my incubator but I had a dozen maran eggs in there and all 12 are showing great signs of life. Plus I had a 75%...

Smart woman! I'm from Southern Illinois, our little farm towns barely had any rules at all. I don't remember dad pulling permits for building anything. And people call this the wild west. I will never do an HOA again. I said that exact same phrase 2 years ago. I landed myself a sweet rental in a...

What do people pay to have a bird processed? Would it be worth the price of fuel to drive to someone's house to cull their flock and only process 4-6 birds?

I'm sure one could do some sort of start up business. I just don't know the FDA implications of processing birds for other people. Do you start getting into licenses and inspections? That could be a pain.

Would a culling and processing class at the chicken swaps be too barbaric? Haha

A "community"....what's that? You mean back in the olden days when people knew their neighbors by name, looked out for each other, left their doors unlocked, helped those that were struggling, and genuinely cared about each other?

America....the land of the free!

Once again, I will reiterate the fact that I will never move back to that hell hole! The house that I bought in HR was the second biggest mistake of my life. I had the worst neighbors I have ever had to deal with. It all started with my company truck. It was a brand new 2008 Ford F250 diesel. I...
