I just have to say that I LOVE the chicken logo that was made for chickenstock. Especially with the colors, it looks very cool!

Way to go to the artist MeAndTheBoyz!! You did a FANTASTIC job!

why thank you - it was super fun to work on! Can't wait to show off the shirts around town!

Ok i been thinking when i come up for chicken stalk.. i was thinking about loading up a couple of containers of Anubia Roaches to sell also.. would people be interested in buying them for treats for there chickens or maybe trying to start there own collony??? they are way easy to care for but if anybody is interested post here let me know if so i'll start turn out a some batches and putting them to the side for sale.. i'll do probly mostly sub adults and babies and maybe a few containers of full adults.. cause the babies will grow exspecialy if you want to start your own collony

i believe this is the only place where people would be happy about roaches

As a new hobbyist - I would be interested in any ideas that people had to offer. I don't want to speak for thebirdguy, but i think "out of the box" ideas and sharing/networking will help this event continue to grow.
anyone else want to chime in?

ok i will start seperating my collonies of roaches then and i'm gona put together 50 counts with a few adults/sub adults and babies in the packages.. so you can feed some let some grow and let the big adults breed so if you are interested i will be asking 15$ for every container "50 count" possibly pluss some extra in them as well i always loose count so you probly will get lucky. if you go to places like zamzo's they ask for 20 bucks but they only give you one size as i will have all 3-4 sizes in each container so you can start a good collony.. i will also tell yo uhow to care for them to be honest they are way easy to care for... so if you are interested and want to pre order collonies from me please send me a pvt message and i'll put together and hold your containers for you

I want some roaches, too!!!

Do you know what is being donated by the other hatcheries??

Oh... Mo5... At this point I will have started easter egger pullets, and a variety of day old chicks, probably a few wheaten ameracauna, possibly some blue/black copper marans, and olive eggers, I'm not sure what I will have of the shipped eggs yet, they have not been hatching well, but I'm trying some different things, so

the shipped eggs do better by the hatches due before chickenstock... Was also thinking about bringing some easter egger/olive egger hatching eggs and maybe some ameracauna hatching eggs...

 

[thebirdguy]

For sure I have some Cornish Xs, and assorted brown egg layers.. sexlinks, rocks. rhode island reds etc. coming.... may have some surprises too, just depends on what they have extra that week..

How much would you charge for a blue/black copper maran pullet?
I am also bringing up my 4 month old Cuckoo Maran rooster if anybody wants him. Good luck on your hatches, I hope they are successful.

Alright i'll load ya up on roaches how many are you wanting??? and are you wanting an asortment of ages or just a sertain size?

 

[Daloorashens]

Probably an assortment of sizes, I don't have any and want to start a colony...

Also... how could I forget... I have a really pretty German New Hampshire cockerel... He will be 4 months old by then... I wish I could keep him, he is a really nice looking young roo. He is from a breeder, not hatchery quality roo...

Mo5, the only started pullets I will have will be the easter eggers... pawtraitart I think has some that are started of the Black Copper Marans, maybe??
