    The Florida

    I'm done experimenting and I now have a flock of Florida Whites and a flock of Florida Golds. The Crown Prince is still a youngster. He'll gain another 4 pounds or so.

    The Florida

    My 2 month old clutch still want to sleep in the sleeping cages I put them in as chicks. Last night I closed them up and helped the birds onto the complex of 5 large perches. I went in tonight to lock the birds up and they were mostly on the perches. Then I made a horrible discovery. One of my...

    The Florida

    After a dead summer, sold $410 in birds in the last 35 days. Still doesn't pay for the feed. Once enough people see for themselves how great these birds are, I hope to be able to charge more.

    The Florida

    Hatched 221 birds over the last 18 months. Saw a lot of variations from the mix. Sold my Rainbow Rock flock. I didn't get any blues, so I have sold Wingman's black hens. Big Mama may have stopped laying. She is over 3 and a 1/2 years old. My priority is to preserve her line so I have removed...

    Bird sellers are screwed this year.

    False equivalency. The people who hindered your business were not the same people who profited from you investing in it. I've submitted dozens of reviews to Amazon. They publish both the positive and negative reviews.

    I'll tell you something else sleazy about TSC. I bought 300 feet of field wire from them. I asked for the exact dimensions of the openings and the manufacturer provided a schematic. It turns out that the bottom holes were a good bit bigger than they claimed and my hens were able to squeeze...

    Sold nothing for last 4 months. Sold $310 worth in last 2 weeks. Still doesn't pay for my feed over the summer. They gobble 100 pounds a week, not counting cabbage, eggs, corn on the cob, etc. Your region may vary. I'm downsizing, hard.

    Bird sellers are screwed this year.

    Well, many people bought all their feed and fencing and feeders and waterers and other supplies from TSC, expecting to establish a little cottage industry for themselves. Things apparently vary in different regions as far as sales go but for me, I had few sales until TSC stopped selling chicks...

    Yeah, sexed chicks are great. The hardest thing that I have to do is kill a rooster. But I'm never content to do something that other people are doing. I always have to put my own stank on it.

    I've got a return customer coming today for a couple of $25 two month old pullets. Another return customer picking up a pullet and two hens tomorrow. Went 4 months without selling a bird while TSC was selling chicks.

    I noticed today that TSC is no longer selling chicks. I'm already getting increased interest in my birds.

    Using a pellet gun to harvest free rangers

    Airguns are noisy enough to need suppressors? I shot sub-sonic ammo through a .22 rifle and it was very quiet.
