No, that is not too bad.... unless they are hatchery. I sell pullets for $35 each, Roos are about the same, but mine are not hatchery.

Went to the poultry show today in GA. Met up with hardinpoultry and got some BLRW eggs from her! Can't wait to set them! Also got some nice dark eggs (Wheaten Marans - Bev Davis line) from another person. Then we were looking at the Salmon Favorelles that were being judged. While there, a lady came to water and feed her Favorelle hen. I was asking her questions about the Favorelles when the hen laid an egg. I commented on how cute the pinkish egg was so she ended up giving it to me... she said it was probably fertile! Yea! Always wanted a favorelle! So, then DH and I were walking around and we came upon a man selling FBCM eggs (12 for $75!) Well, at the time my DH was eating some Girl Scout Cookies we had just bought. The man was hungry so he bartered one FBCM egg for 3 cookies! hahahha! I think I will also add 2 of my own EE/Marans mix eggs to see if I get an olive egger! (Not sure they are fertile, but we will see!) So, I have a nice mix for my little home incubator! Hurray!

Yeah! aren't chicken people GREAT! Did you go to Newnan? I went last year but it was not really worth the trip for me to repeat it... well not this year anyway. I hope you had fun? Sounds like you did! Didn't you just LOVE her accent? Not southern at all LOL

 

[Flowerbh]

yes. Newman. I had to help DH cut trees/firewood all day yesterday to get him to go with me. I was surprised there weren't more chicks for sell. Wouldn't have gotten the eggs if I hadn't preplanned to get them.

All I heard all day was "I love your accent, where are you from?!"

I wish I had taken my BLRW here... I KNOW my roo is nicer than the one who won BV.

That is why I was so disappointed..... I have better looking birds.... that was before I got my BLRW

It was just a disappointment... I expected SOOOO much more and didn't get it. It is a great place to sell chicks, eggs and pullets. I though about hatching and making the trip, but we decided it was not worth the effort to drive.

They COULD NOT TELL WHERE YOU WERE FROM LOL.... they need to get TV

We southerners LOVE accents..... takes the pressure off of OUR accents when you are around

Did anyone get pics at Newnan? Would love to see ANYTHING....

There was only one BLRW in the whole place as far as I could tell. I was hoping to see more so I could show myDH what they looked like! HOLLY, it was nice meeting you. Will let you know how things turn out!
