ALABAMA!!

[Ricky64]

Hey all, New here on site from NW (Florence) Alabama. New to the chickens too. Got a RIR rooster, a couple of RIR hens and a Yellow Buff. Just starting out and looking for more hens about 1 year old. Anyone in the area got a few?

Bamadude and I will be headed to Huntsville Feb 19-20.
We are planning a Tuscaloosa stop.

I was wondering if anyone along their travel route would have:

Any Spitzhauben??? Any color.

Any bantam that lays brown eggs

Any Leghorns that lay large eggs

And yes, I am happy to pay resonable rates through PayPal.

Hello Alaskan,
Are you down here in Alabama or still up there in the Kenai area? I was an Alaskan for 26 years, from 1981 to 2007 then for some stupid reason I moved down here.

I grew up in Anchorage and lived in Homer, Cordova and Kodiak Island also.

I am still up here, Klucky and bama dude wanted to try out their super awesome shipping method... See if they can ship eggs to Alaska without the aircells detatching etc.

Kind of an experiment.

So... I need to find eggs that I want, for them to play with and ship.


Anyway, yep, I am close to Homer. Why did you move down? Wanted heat? Or a job thing?

Hey Jayeres , First from one vet to another thank you for your service. I too live in Florence, Al and looking for 3-4 more laying hens to add to the new coop. Can you point me in the right direction? Seem to be hard to find for me in this area. Thanks in advance.

There is a person who lives a couple of miles from me who raises Spitzhauben. I messaged her and will put you guys in contact if she has eggs I can bring next Sat. I only have the DBL and the isabelles. The isabelle eggs I have are not directly related to Bama and Klucky chic's isabelles. Their eggs aren't huge, just normal size.

First order "regional box A" from usps.com. They come in packs of 10.
We wrap each egg in a 1/4 sheet of newspaper (just cut it where the folds are)

 

[1kluckychik]

We cut 3-4 inch strips of small bubble wrap. Wrap up the newspapered eggs in it.

Fill up the regional box A halfway with poly-fill pillow stuffing (big clear bag at walmart craft dept).
Nestle the eggs in (up to 15 wrapped eggs will fit). Air cells up of course
Pack poly fill on top of the eggs filling the box tight. Tape shut.

Get a medium flat rate box. Cut out a square of big bubble wrap to lay flat in the bottom of it. Place your packed and taped regional box A in the medium flat rate box.
Add big bubble wrap along the sides between the 2 boxes to make a tight fit.
Add a square of big bubble wrap on top.
Tape shut and label with names and addresses ONLY. Do not write anything else on the box. No live embryos. No fragile. No nothing.
We have had 1 damaged aircell in the past 150 eggs we shipped this way
