Acres Poultry hatching thread with aliciaplus3!

$5.00 for a POL? That is crazy! I suppose that they want to get chick's for free, then!

Pretty much. Oh and it had best be a guaranteed pullet of the best laying stock. I have somehow managed to find folks willing to buy farm fresh eggs st $3 a dozen. But not many duck or turkey egg buyers. I would love to make poultry my livelihood but dont see that happening anytime soon

I sell my mixed chicks for $5-$10 it depends. I'd sell a POL Pullet for $15-$25. I've never had a chicken last to the POL though because everyone always buys all the chicks.

I'm scared to go into TSC because I think they might have chicks I'm going to try to avoid them.

Oops! I went into Murdoch's for a meeting day before yesterday. Went back yesterday to pick up just 2 whiting true blues( they had the gray ones like the one that i had that passed away) yeah 11 chicks later. Wait I have around 100 chicks, ducks and turkeys in brooders at home??? Oh and Over 100 eggs incubating. Sigh I have IT bad.
But we picked up 3 true blues, 2 partridge rocks, 2 cream legbars, 1 pear leghorn, 2 necked necks, and a dark brahma. Should add some different colors to my flock.

My husband would kill me unless I sold them all

I'm not allowed to buy birds. I have enough and can make more with what I have. I did trade for fresh legbar cockerels, however, because my legbars have been almost closed flock for 7 years and I need fresh blood. I sell most of what I hatch. Otherwise they can't generate enough revenue to pay for their feed. And yeah, POL pullets go for 20-25 dollars. And chicks 5-10 dollars.

I'm just hatching my own eggs now. I'm too nervous to buy. I might talk to the chicks in the store though I am too nervous about disease entering my well maintained flock.

From your flock or did you get shipped eggs?

All from my own flock. The Legbars are auto sexing. All pullets that hatch from this incubation will lay blue eggs.

Definitely share pics when they hatch. Your pics are always my favorite.
