Guys! I'm just offering fish stuff, not anything that actually might help...

I buy up cheap used aquariums for when we do a donated aquarium to someone anyway, so we have various sizes laying around. Also have filters, anything from an overhang to the wet/dry systems. I don't currently have any extra lights or bulbs, but can order them for you if you lost one. Corals, invertabrates, and any other livestock you lost just PM me and we'll see what we can do about replacing it. When Hurricane Charlie hit in Florida I lost my entire aquarium, and I know homeowners insurance doesn't cover the loss, so just send me a PM, and I'll check my fish list.



And I'll have you all know, I'm still very much the evil one around here.

hey em how good are sponge filters? I got a box and i was wondering if they would be any better. lol and my friend was telling me how he has like a million ( not literally ) tanks haha

What type of sponge filter? PM me with a little more info, and I'll do whatever I can to answer your questions.

Right now it's looking like the delevery date for chicks will be on Sunday, July 9th.

If everyone interested could please either post here or PM me your general location (Town), the breed (or breeds) of chicks you want, the amount of each breed and ages prefered on chicks, I'll be able to mapquest all the towns and pick a central location for everyone to meet and pick them up.

I've got Partridge Cochins and Spangled Russian Orloffs that I am hatching out around 30 - 40 each per week through the delevery date, also will be a few other breeds in lesser numbers such as BB Red Bantams, Splash & White Cochin Bantams, Pearl Guineas, and maybe a few other breeds. Ages will run from a day or so old up to around two months old. All will be straight run, and I will be bringing them in several large boxes and cages... just bring your own container to trasport them to your home from the pick up point.

I'll also bring the past weeks hatching eggs if someone prefers eggs. (Should be only around 5 -6 dozen on the eggs).

If they haven't sold here from the farm before then, I might have a pair or adult Spangled Russian Orloffs and a pair of BB Red Bantams that I would be happy to gift someone if they prefer grown birds.

Ok, the load to Hackleburg left out this morning at 9:00 am with my crew, so those who asked for eggs should have them by now. Hope ya'll enjoy them. We had a full 12' trailer load of household type donations plus 7 dozen hatching eggs dropped off on the way to those who asked.

Still about two more weeks before I sit the final hatch of eggs for the chicks I'll be delevering on July 9th, so please PM me or post here before then if you want chicks.

The adult pair of Orloffs are spoken for, they are going to one of our members along with 10 Partridge Cochin chicks and 25 Spangled Russian Orloff chicks.

I have another request for 10 chicks of both breeds, another request for 30 Cochins, a request for an unspecified mixed order. Come on now... There have to be more folks wanting chicks than that! Don't be shy!

Just let me know.

I think I love you, MFD. In a non-threatening, platonic manner, of course.

Yeah, everyone falls for the crazy ones..

About one day of watching me walk into walls, justify building just one more coop, tracking mud in the house and just being in general a grumpy bear would cure that!

My wife is a saint. Should be anyway just for putting up with me. All it takes is one miracle for sainthood, right?

I'll love MFB too, but I'm going to do it in a threatening manner.

I would be happy to send out some sizzle eggs also. Right now i'm not home. My grandson has an accident and i'm at the hospital with him but when I get home I would be happy to send out eggs. I have 3 white sizzle hens with a tri colored silkie roo. I have eggs of theirs in my bator now and I have no idea how they will feather out. I can send 6 or 6+ at a time since I only have the 3 hens laying. All my silkies are broody and if I get any of their eggs by some slim chance I can add those also. So if anybody that has been affected by the storms and need to rebuild their flocks feel free to PM me with your address and when I get home i'll send out a box or two a week for you all. I've had people help me out so I want to return the favor and help you all out.

MFB what you are doing is truly awsome. I cant deliver anything I am too far away and all I have are mixed eggs but would be glad to ship chicken and duck eggs for anyone wanting them.

Last call for chicks....

I'll be delevering starting this week....

Have lots of Orloff hatching eggs, as the last I'm going to hatch are going into the incubator on Tuesday.

Let me know quick if you'd like some!
