Meep! Meep!
What does a crossed beak hen say?
Oh, nevermind, the mood has passed. It is this really dumb joke that I was up for a bit ago, but it has passed now. You all probably wouldn't have thought it was funny, anyway! It al always made me giggle and other people look at me like I had lost it.
W: Oh, I have a black New Jersey chicken that is sitting on eggs, but I don't have a rooster. I read on the internet you can trade a chick at night for her eggs, but it must be the same color as the hen so she will accept the chick.
I've got people coming by tonight to look at the Easter chicks. I have to find a diplomatic way to tell this lady she is wrong, without just sounding like I'm trying to increase the sale. She wants to buy ONE chick. I need to explain why that is wrong for the chick. Anyway, this was our conversation.
W: Do you have any black New Jersey chickens?
Me: No, they are mostly welsummer mixes, a few pure welsummer and a few EE/OE.
W: Oh, I have a black New Jersey chicken that is sitting on eggs, but I don't have a rooster. I read on the internet you can trade a chick at night for her eggs, but it must be the same color as the hen so she will accept the chick.
Me: Well, I don't have any Jersey Giant chicks, but I do have black chicks. They are BSL & BA crosses.
W: Okay, I'll stop on my way home from work to get one.
Now mind you, I'm only asking $2 for these chicks, straight run. I'm going to let her pick and try to convince her to take a few. If she picks one of the BSL with the cute white spot........ummm, she needs a rooster, right?

In Massachusetts the feed stores are required to sell 6 at a minimum; not sure if this applies to back yard people like me. I agree about BYC, lots of interesting people with loads of good information.
They are too darn cute!! I love the color, must be why I have black and tan dogs, and love reese's peanut butter cups.
Oh, I forgot to post I set 17 Iowa Blues this past weekend to nurture the turkey poults. I also pulled one cracked non developer and set 4 to the side that I think are clear. That still leaves me with 26 going strong!
My Iowa Blues are not all lovey dovey either. I did have somebody hatch some from my eggs and her daughter made it a lap chicken.LUCKY! I have one Iowa a couple months old and that whole pen will come sit on my arm! NOT THAT SUCKER! she will bite scratch and try to scream the coop down IF you catch her!
