Bob Blosl's Heritage Large Fowl Thread

[NYREDS]

$1000 OMG!!!Rediculous! I had seen the web site before but never paid any attention to any finer details.

****-I've been helping people get started, including farm visits, for years & for free ! In fairness though, I don't give out membership cards, that's worth something.

We will start issuing membership cards to our workshops. $500 each. We will issue the first membership card and schedule the workshop as soon as someone sends us the $500.

Our first seminar will be on how to keep your chickens from escaping and a bonus, how to make Mrs. Tweedy's Chicken Pot Pie! Included at no extra charge will be the viewing of this simple how-to video.

​

The seminar will also include a a hands on demonstration on how to build coops, clean coops and dig ditches. Students should bring their own shovels since this will be an interactive seminar. Cool lemonade and a picnic lunch is also required. Bring enough for the lecturer. We will also demonstrate how to mow and bag grass for your coops. Students should bring their own gloves and rubber boots as well. Hammers, screw drivers, nails and screws are available for a small additional fee.

Free cool water will be provided. Cups are only $1.00 each. (non reusable one time use).

Yeah me too. Free. That's what farmers do. I have people from 10 years ago still calling me to talk chicken.

I mean it includes hands on experience for the newbie!

For those unable to make it to Arkansas, I'll be glad to run a similar seminar in S.C.

Mr. Weaver can you visualize this male walking on your lawn with free range in a relaxed state. This is a real nice male and I remember a male that looked like him about 20 years ago that I used in my breeding pens.

I hope you build him a nice six by six conditioning pen fill it with straw or shavings and get him ready for the fall show in Knoxville. He should win big there.

Also, when the day comes and you are done with him I want first dibs on buying him and using him as a breeder down here on his aunts and cousins.

Job well done they are sure white and yellow legs to boot.

I found a picture of a breeding pen from about 25 years ago after I got the fluffy feathers out of this line. I hope your male grows up like his old grand father did.BOB

Me too, and then he comes here does the same thing I did and charges the same people $1000.00. I am more irritated with the people I helped for free. I have known Jim since he was 12. He and I are going to be at the Baker Seed Heritage Expo here in Santa Rosa in two weeks. This time I will be making some money (judging the poultry show part of the Expo) and he will be trying to sell his services. Jim was offering to "certify" flocks as Heritage for a brief time and the APA had to get on him about that.
His presentations are good, but the amounts of money he charges are not totally reflected in the $1000.00 fee...... he usually finds ways to get more money.
