One seller generously offered to replace eggs for shipping. EBay sellers were rude and made no such offers.

I have a place in D.C. and one in Maryland (depending upon where I am working). I keep all my chickens in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. I think Tacoma Park is like 40 minutes, depending upon traffic.How far are you from Tacoma Park?
I think I talked to you in a post a couple of weeks ago........
Will anyone be offering eggs/chicks this spring in the Northeast?
I have a couple questions for those in the know. How fast do Bresses mature and gain weight compared to other heritage meat breeds like Delawares and Rocks? What is their average slaughter age and weight? Thanks.
I have read they free-range till finishing time. I found the info on GFF's site.
Has anyone done fodder? We're working on replacing most of our access to pellets with fresh wheat fodder. Last year we did some as treats but have slowly started adding in more. We also do more fermented now. Anyone feed fermented feed? Our birds free-range all day and get locked up at night. That is with the exception of 2 special coops. I do offer fresh cut daily greens and grass though. It also keeps them busy. I find our meat almost tastes like it was injected with chicken flavor bouillon, lol. The eggs are particularly outstanding. I only have 2 families we supply eggs to. Both now refuse to purchase elsewhere. The one woman's children told her ours don't taste like cardboard, ha! I thought it was too cute. My point of babbling on here is that what they eat has so much to do with taste, IMHO. I can say for certain, my birds sure love'em some snake! We used to have a copperhead issue. Lo-longer! Now that they have full access to all of the property we will occasionally see one, but it's dangling out of ones mouth with the whole flock in hot pursuit. These little dino's love their meat!
How do you grow it when its so cold? I gave up, even in california we are under freezing every night right now..I did fodder all last winter...as a supplement...they all loved it..I just ordered my wheat seeds to start again!
