➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

[R2elk]

I had 3 buyers last year and one the year before. 2 were 20 minutes away, one was 1 1/2 hrs away. She didn't realize how far it was... She was about my age and hadn't been able to find pullets at a reasonable price... she was interested in turkeys and asked about eggs... so I gave her some hatching turkey eggs to make it worth her trip.

I have some come from farther out the road from me but I also get people from hundreds of miles away. On craigslist, all of Wyoming is the area and it is not broken down into multiple units like it is with more populated states.

I also gave turkey hatching eggs to one visitor that bought some poults. His issue was he had a broody turkey hen and no tom.

I allow people to come to my place. The birds dont really go near the driveway free ranging they stay to the back. Lots more chicken interesting things to do back there. Then i make everyone use a bleach shoe bath. Thats NPIP protocol and good enough. I warn them their shoes or boots havero go into a foot bath but often they wanna see where their birds are coming from. I work hard at the network i have w my birds and often make additional sales because of keeping in touch with customers. Still 3 buyers is about all who came here, most of the time i meet them about halfway cuz im so far from the rest of civilization.

Person 2 years ago stayed in the driveway. When transferring tame hen, she got away. It was at dusk so she ran back to the fence. I let her in and she went back to the coop and was easy to catch. She had been raised by someone else and not hard to handle. The ones I raise are like handling a wild horse. Beat your face and show how strong they are. If I could tell what sex I would handle them. If I didn't feel bad over the tame cockerels my life would be easier

I often get requests to meet people halfway and I always refuse those requests. My vehicle is a HD 3/4 ton 4x4 with a 454 engine that gets approximately 10 mpg. There is no way I can economically make a trip. Any such trip would cost me far more than what I sell things for. Again there is always the possibility of a no show which would make it even worse.
