Yesterday night i candled and tossed 6 eggs, 2 silkies were dead and the others were clear. I saw moving though! my babies were bouncing around in there little bungy cords (aka viens). doing flips and everything, fun fun.

also, woke up to snow!

an inch or so, and coming hard. im expecting:
the three months old, my 'crew', will probably start partying in it, having a blast.
My older hens will know to stay in,
and the young pullets will most likely run out all excited like normal then realize they are cold, and come running back,
I KNOW my dogs are gonna run and play and party like theres no tomorrow in it, i will have to take pics! this will probably be my golden's last winter, so we are trying to savor it.

Good for you! I plan on selling all the chicks, ducklings, and maybe some of the quail babies. How much does everyone sell their baby chicks (or any feathered babies) for? I usually sell my chicks for about $4.00 each. I sold my ducklings for $8.00 each, and they were mixed. I sold peachicks last year for $35.00 each..however after doing some research that is WAY too cheap. Any hatchery you go to sells them for about $47.00+ each. Looking forward to hearing what everybody else gets for their hatchlings. : )

I am selling RIR chicks right now for $2 each, and BCM chicks for $5 each. I had some mixed chicks but sold all those for $2 each. Right now chicks on CL are running about $3 a chick. I like to keep my prices low so I don't have to hold on to them for long, plus I am farther out than most people so people don't like to drive out here as much. The ducks I have ready to hatch (rouen, Indian runners, and mixes of the 2) I am going to sell $5 for the females and $4 for the males. No one is selling ducklings right now so I can't compare prices, but in the spring/summer they tend to sell for $3-$6 each.
