Guess it depends on what is considered high priced. I squeal at $2.00 a dozen grocery store eggs, but have paid close to $200 for rare hatching eggs.No one has mentioned "mass production" but having a handful of people work on them limits the process. Some would argue working on other than the basic blue, black and splash is a huge set back as well when there is still much to be done otherwise. So there are good and bad on it all at every angle.
Just because someone doesn't want to or can't spend a huge amout of $ to get into these, doesn't mean they would not be an asset to the project. As far as "noobies" wanting in, anyone is welcome, we were all on the outside of this project at one time. I personally had next to no help getting started. Keeping it a small high priced group isn't something I will be doing. That's one reason this project isn't any further along than it is.
On the price of eggs, I would never pay that much for eggs (200$). That is why it is so high they have people willing to pay that, not me. I would wait. I have better things to do with my money them to gamble on eggs that may or may not hatch. I am willing to offer my eggs at reasonable price on an auction and those wanting them will bid. Just like pips eggs she sets a price and it bid a price when it goes over it I'm out. I want to share the little biddies because they are fun and cute, some get them and want to breed and others maybe not. It's up to the buyer and seller
Hello oopsadaisys and welcome to the sight and our project, I'm sure auctions and the sell of eggs and chicks will be around in the spring. I was the one who had the dog attack. it didn't kill any of my Silkied Am's, it did kill a bunch of my bantam d'Uccles and a Marans.Hello everyone, I am new on here but I feel like I know all of you. After about a week of reading 266 pages of this "high-suspense drama novel"; [I literally cried when Jubaby said she was getting out and everyone offered to get her going again; anyone know where she stands now??] anyway, then I discover it continued here in a new strand (smart move btw) I made it to page 9 or so and was trying to comment on the loss of chickens to a dog but apparently I posted wrong...
So I love how these chickens got their start and how everyone in the project is determined to make this "breed" stronger. I would LOVE to jump in, but I know I should wait till spring. I hope you all will welcome me and help me with any questions I have. Everyone in the posts seem so genuinely caring and devoted to these silkied chickens! I currently have 37 assorted chickens, two of those are laying, with the rest almost at 20 wks old. I also have 7 bantam chicks (2 frizzles, 1 bantam brahma, and 4 assort bantam feather footed). And 1 adult guinea and 20 guinea keets.
I have a full sized bus converted into a chicken coop and plenty of room for more pens in another barn.
