American Gamefowl

Good point, I thought if so he would set me straight but he never got back with me.. I also asked if he would send a photo of the hens, I hesitated dropping 40 dollars on shipped eggs when the guy won't get back with me.

Honestly if you were questioning $40 for shipped eggs I don’t think anyone on here would have gotten back to you. The $100 for a rooster is a similar mindset. Most everyone who has gamefowl has paid for eggs, birds and were possibly given a few. They aren’t cheap and aren’t cheap to raise.

By the time someone rounds up eggs, wraps them up and ships them $40-50+ isn’t a lot at all. Just because you can get a chicken for a couple bucks at tractor supply doesn’t mean gamefowl should be equally as cheap. Lol
In theory you’re paying for a bloodline that has been kept and maintained for a long time not just pretty birds.

Shipping cost alone can be nearly that much depending on where they are going.

I’m not sure about eggs now but around $20+ to ship eggs depending on how many. Birds are $60 at the least plus the roughly $12 for the box. That’s not even including the bird. So it’s not a cheap hobby.

It was a little over 20 the last time I shipped eggs.
Plus all the hassle of trying to find right size boxes to fit. I like to pack them in a box inside another box. Then you have to come up with some kind of filler, foam, paper etc. I wrap the eggs individually in bubble wrap, did not have any on hand and had to buy some.

And that was all for invaluable pet quality dux.
Not prestigious gamefowl.

Did you include instructions to just sh*tcan the whole box upon delivery?

Looks like I Missed a lot, but it got covered and then some.

Bought a really cheap project car(runs and drives clean title) plan to boost this one hope to make 250-300whp eventually.

Should have a whole mess of eggs hatching from various birds here soon.... hopefully that is. Wish in one hand and crap in the other ya know.

It’s different strains and different breeders.

If the rooster is a different strain than the hens,will this cause the chicks to be mixed?
