ALL TEXAS Traders /Seller Look here

it's not the government, it's the big chicken business that lobby the government to make it harder for the small breeders, but i won't go there. you can talk to any breeder and they'll tell you all about it.

personally, i'd rather buy from someone that's tested their birds than not. you won't find a hatchery that's not tested. you won't find a reputable breeder on eggbid that isn't npip. it's for the safety of your own flock if you want to get new birds. the state makes you pay a fee to sell off premises. it's no big deal. i have a friend who sells at canton and he sells over 1000 chicks every month. pays the $500 fee for the year and still makes out. it does just take the little guy out. but it helps people like us stay legit and people are more comfortable buying from people with the certificate and permit than some guy down the road who's never had his flock tested.

it's like the horse coggins. you wouldn't buy a horse that didn't have papers. it could kill the rest of your horses. why would you want to buy from someone who doesn't have their flock tested and potentially bring in a disease that could kill your flock? (although, even if they have papers, you should quarantine your new birds for at least 2 weeks before joining them with your flock)

I am in San Antonio and I can Trade a Guinea Hen for any other type of chicken pullet or Hen! I think she is driving the neighbors mad!

Well, I would hate for them to start complaining so hopefully someone will want her for a trade! Let me know what you got.

I have 7 barred rock pullets, 18 weeks old, and 2 barred rock roo, 9 weeks old that I'm itchin to trade or sell. they are hatchery stock. I'm in the fort hood/killeen area.

I also have a 12 week old frizzle pair that I need to get gone...red hen and black roo... all my other banties keep plucking them completely nekkid!
They are starting their feathers back since I brought em in the house, though.


Still, frizzles are not my thing. Cute, but hubby asked me to "focus".... so I have to tryand cut back on the ones that are just "cute" and not my goal, even if I don't understand the why behind it.


ETA Also have FSOT a few pullets gold-laced cochin (LF), partridge cochin (LF), dark brahma, buff brahma, egyptian fayoumi, bb red cubalaya, feather leg cuckoo marans.

On your marans.. Are these hatchery or breeder stock? How old are they? Do you have any pictures?

 

[barnwife]

the marans are hatchery stock, from ideal in cameron tx....some have really good feathering on their legs...the others do not. They are healthy and hardy, very active. there is one that is very fligthy and two or three that are very calm, almost pets.

I do not have pics, and its gonna be cold tomorrow. They are 4-five weeks old, almost old enough to leave the brooder for a couple hours a day.
