$35...that would be $50 now if we account for inflation?

I’m finding ways to kill time until my jumbo eggs arrive Will be setting my own eggs and the jumbos at the same time, never ordered eggs in freezing temperatures before, so....

Where did you order from?

I bought an assortment of eggs from the seller of the black eggs, so he's gonna ship those plus the black eggs. Figured if I was paying shipping anyway, might as well get some eggs, lol. The assortment should have true Sparklies, which I've been wanting, Pearl Fee, which I can add to my existing Pearls, Pansies, and Golden(?). Golden maybe meaning Golden Manchurian. Which I could also use with the Pearls.

I learned something today: don't try banding your older hens. Two of them prolapsed. One of them sucked it back in and seems fine, the other one I've separated until she heals up a bit more, at least two days maybe. I think that's just too much stress on their already stretched parts.

Jackiebjackie from Ebay. Got my celadons from there too - decent hatch rates so far. The first batch produce two white wrynecks, i honestly think it was genetics, too much of a coincidence. Then there were some fertility issues with the second batch of celadons, only about 2/3 were fertile, but since she threw in so many extras, it pretty much evened out to the quantity I paid for.
Despite the issues above, I’m happy with the quality of the birds since all I wanted was pretty blue eggs, lol.

I can basically name my price for male darths here in the nyc metro area. I ordered darth eggs from a breeder in Louisiana, total, I spent about $100 on eggs including shipping, I got 36 darth eggs, 36 blue face, and 18 cinnamon red breasted, I kept what I wanted and sold the rest, I asked $100 for the maybe 20-23 that I sold and the guy only really wanted the 4 darth males I had lol, but he took the lot of them for $100. I was happy to have recovered my money, kept the ones I wanted with no cost to me, and I had the whole group gone within 3 days of my ad.

I’ve had that happen, it’s never been a real prolapse, no blood or anything, just red tissue that gets pushed out and generally goes back on its own and gives no problems. I did have a young bird die of fear because I had moved it outside in the fall and it seemed really suffering from the cold so I brought it in to get warm and strengthen up a bit more, my yard is maybe 35 ft long from the greenhouse to the house, and halfway across the yard it just slumped over dead!

I think that "Cajunboy" out of Louisiana is Gary Landry or a close associate of his. He was responsible for importing a lot of the color morphs back in the 80s. He also does a lot of work with zebra finches.

In place of the pictures I really wanted to do it live from inside the barn so people could say “hey let me see that” and I would be able to show them. But unfortunately camera was freezing once I entered the barn.

I didn’t do the last one from the aviary for same reasons….there were a lot more technical issues with the first one.

He sure is. I have bought button eggs from him directly at zebrafinch.com and I bought Coturnix eggs from him as cajunboy on eBay. He’s very helpful.
