Yes lets all be nice, I know feelings get hurt but lets try to get over it and keep the swap pleasant for all. So many enjoy the chat but I dare say 99% of us don't enjoy the anger.
oh no thats horrible we lost about 25 birds earlier this year to either a coyote or a dog and its horrible, hope you find it. So sorry to hear
yes we are are working hard to get the last of our orders out, turning down buyers for eggs and chicks as we are hatching only the leftovers for months...
We are trying to create a market around here with nice birds, we have everything from Australorps to Chocolate Orpington Banatams. We are getting $25-35 for laying hens depending on age and quality of course more for the odder/rarer stuff. These prices are not for everyone(some people gripe and...
I will be- haven't ever done it but vinegar will not hurt the chickens but it repels mites, lice, etc (thank the good Lord I haven't had any bird lice) and all the herbs are harmless- I use them on my family and most of the herbs the chickens love to eat anyway (especially basil) I came up with...

I can see many people paying $200 per chick. Not me... that is way too much- I tap out at a max of $100. Considering a mottled roo is at $1000 right now on RBA with 4 days and 22 hrs left to go, the $200 doesn't seem so bad for a day old chick.
miNE they would look good with mine.
We have slowed down our sportsman is only half full
I would say free labor but it is not cheap raising kids.
Yes kids are not worked enough in my opinion in this country, so we get a lot of kids that don't know how to work or don't want to. My 16 year old...
I think anytime we try to do right you will have a large chance of extra aggrivation due to the circumstances. THis does not subtract from the good deed you have been trying to do. I say keep up the good work! We nned more people who are willing to help out. Do all you can but you can only do...
