Arizona Chickens

If you want them, then they are yours. I know that you will take good care of them.

IF you still have them in about a month I think I can do that. I have to plan around work travel. Don't hold them for me if you have another taker.

My egg flock with Roger lays mostly big white eggs - so between the brown egg layers in with Hollands and Roger's flock I get a good mix of BIG white & brown to sell/trade. Smaller white eggs from Hollands and Polish I eat or give to my neighbor here in Chino. Surprisingly 4 Polish faithfully lay 3-4 small to medium eggs per day! Except saving Holland's for hatching now.

The size of egg's that the girl's I mentioned would go in with your sell/trade.

I won't be hatching from them again, and I'll be taking a break from hatching after these one's in my incubator hatch out so I can figure out who stay's or goes. Their egg's could be fertile though from the NN Aloha boy.

Unless you do your subtracting over here . . .

I might take you up on that if I can figure out my schedule.

I like the sound of a fig tree cutting! I sure wish one of these big old trees here was a fig! I have seen quite a few ads for chicks on craig's list lately. Maybe take orders, then hatch? Or sell the hatching eggs?

you might try running a single ad for both, with a title like "chicks and hatching eggs for sale" so the search engine would treat both equally, and you'd have a better idea of demand. of course you'd want to have chicks and hatching eggs actually available for sale...

We are retired, any weekday is fine. Tuesdays are perfect, day before trash pick-up.
Visitors in the Air BnB on the weekends might not like that much real farm life!

@CaroleW Just so that you know, those egg's would be fertilized by this boy, and could give you some interesting color's in chick's if you hatch them. He's in with them now.

I went and got a drake from a lady in Phoenix who was running an ad for Ancona Duck hatching eggs. I called her to see if she had extra males, guess what, she did. She takes orders for eggs and saves them up for a week for each person who is on her list, she was booked out for a month. She sells the eggs for $20/dozen, ducklings for $12 each. It is a 2 hour drive, I will not be competing with her. So, I am making more duck pens, Ancona are great ducks, she lays the largest egg of all of them.

Pretty much the same here, small white eggs are pickled and eaten, and the large colored eggs are pretty in the carton and sell pretty well. They go in the frig in the bunkhouse for the Air BnB visitors, too. They are included with the rest of the goodies we provide, so I look at it like I sold them for $99.00, what we get for a night.
