I gave 4 dozen to my nurse the day I left the hospital. Him and his toddler eat eggs every day

That’s awesome!!!

Lost another chick!

I swear, I can’t catch a break with these dang things!

1 of my turkey poults died yesterday, it had a couple seizures before it died. I held it until it passed . I don't know what was wrong with it, it had been picked on over night, probably by the guinea cockerel.

I think I'm back up to 14 dozen..... I had 18 before I gave 13 dozen away...
I think it's time to downsize, but I can't decide who to get rid of because I like all my chickens. Got 22 eggs yesterday.

Do u use a swap? I can always come off of as many eggs as ive got at the swaps.

How much do you sell them for and do you sell them as fertile eggs? Or just farm eggs?

I ask 3$ per doz as farm fresh eating eggs and then i sell fertile hatching eggs separately, less than 4 days old, turned regularly and pure bred for 30$ a dozen.

I also have pics on que to show the breeders off and i have netted some sales for those but they cant get enough eating eggs. Several times the first customer has taken All of them but i dont let em get built up into the teens. The most ive sold is 7 doz all at once. I dont have that many chicken hens and theyd be over a month old by then. At a month old i cook em for the birds.
