We got our new batch of baby chicks from Purely Poultry today and they are beautiful. We got the assortment of brown egg layers. I am having trouble remembering what color some of the birds are. There are several large black chicks with white on their head & chest. Some smaller chicks are all...

I think this is a perfect excuse to hop in the truck and forget the yard work. I need some pullets and chicks. A couple of ducks might be in order too. Doug

Chicks are a buck apiece. Eggs are $1.50 a dozen.

I'll have plenty of eggs this time.

Is anyone interested in baby quail? If so I'll have to fire up the incubastor soon.I just had a beautiful hatch of Tuxedos and light brown chicks but they will be full grown by April 3rd. Doug

Count us in. We will try to keep these dates free.

Be sure to post your receipe if they turn out good. I cheat and just put them in Klassen pickel juice. They come out good that way. The market was great and if they have it again I will come better prepared next month. I didn't bring near enough stuff. I sold everything except about six of my...

We will be there. We gathered eggs tonight and have 4 dozen quail eggs. We also will bring 4 dozen fresh chicken eggs for eating (non fertile). I will have some quail roosters to sell too.

For the first time I had a zero hatch with my quails so I won't be bringing any babies just eggs if someone wants them. We lost power while we were gone and in this cold I think they got down below what they could tolerate. I usually have a 80% to 90% hatch out of these birds. Bummer.

I have dispatched 2 racoons so far and will keep setting traps once a week just to be sure.

All my eggs will be fresh so you can eat or incubate them. The prices will be cheap enough so you can resell them later too. I have no grown quail to sell right now thanks to a ratcoon that got in my pen and wiped out an entire flock and a couple dozen eggs. Fortunately I had several hens and...
