I don't think I'd ever cross that line. There's another farm on facebook --RockRidge --that sells their mottleds much cheaper than that. There has to be a balance somewhere. And I found another lady on facebook that has mottled lavender orps. It was supposed to be a recessive gene in her...
Since we are on the subject of pricing, I don't know if I want to keep those lemon cuckoo orps. I have two from Papa that are about 6 weeks old and the 5 I got two weeks ago that are now about 4 weeks. I'm not sure what to charge for them if I decide to sell them. No one anywhere near me has...
I also don't function without coffee. I found a quote on pinterest that summed it up -- it was something like Coffee: The difference between "speak to me and die" and "Good Morning, Honey."
I haven't seen Tolbunt eggs at a decent price anywhere! It amazes me. However, I was floored when I...
Try to remember that much of their day will be spent in educational centers. There will be plenty of time they feel like they are playing. It won't be all paper and pencil all day! However, yes, education has changed. Teachers aren't happy with all of it either. I've taught grades 2 - 5...
There's a lady an hour or so from me who sells ALL of her chicks for $2 each. I will not get into what kind of health her birds are in or the way they are raised, but she does have a variety of breeds --AND SHE UNDER PRICES EVERYONE just to move them all. I believe she has 2...
Back from the PO. Of 22 chicks from the grouchy RBA seller, I have 14 alive. There were 4 empty solo cups I am assuming had water in them as the box was wet on bottom.
Seven are lemon cuckoos. Not what I wanted a lot of, but I can always add them to the ones I already have. I have one very...
Morning all! I LOVE those leghorns!
I am home today with pneumonia --ugghhh. I guess that's somewhat of a good thing as my orpington chick assortment from the nightmare RBA auction is on its way to my PO this morning. That truck usually arrives around ten. I will have to post pictures to...
Morning everyone!
Madam--I have light brahmas. It took almost to week 20 before we could see the difference in feathers. It may be the same for your columbians. I know patience is hard to have in that case.
I also would like the list of poor sellers on RBA, Madam. Could we start a list...
Geez! I need help from turkey folks. My very first turkey eggs are hatching. First little one popped out last night and the poor thing cannot stand. Both of his legs stick out behind his back side. He is stuck lying on his tummy. He can move them both, but when he tries to pull his feet up...
I have read both the argument against the crests getting too large and the possibility of vaulted skulls. I didn't want to take any chances in having poor offspring I had to cull. The one I have from mzstre came from BHep's eggs -- his crest lays back on his head like a bad comb over. We...
I have a crested SFH cockerel that needs a female. Does anyone here have a pullet or two they could ship me this week that would be a good mate for him? He is adorable and has a great personality. I hate for him to just be in with some other girls.
