LOL! We only have 1 bantam. She lays about 4 eggs a week it looks like so far. That's not too bad right? I read that bantams are poor layers but she is kicking out 4-5 eggs a week. That's what my Orps lay. I do hope some of the eggs I collected of hers prove to be fertile. I gave 6-7 of them to Jeff. My bantam roo does mate her so I know that is going on- but if they prove to not hatch maybe he is older than I was told? Or just less fertile due to Winter? *fingers crossed* I won't even sell the banty eggs, I cannot imagine anyone wanting such tiny eggs. I do adore seeing their tiny little chicken bodies running around.
sometimes $1 on CL means Make Offer. I have seen cars listed for $1 and I never new what that meant.
If you open the add she is indeed selling them for $1/dozen and says she gets 4 dozen a day. I know chickens for some are sheer hobby and they can afford their feed and care without selling off anything so even $28 a week could still prove helpful because they don't really need 'help' paying for their chickens care. Right now I charge friends $3/doz. If the demand got high I would increase it a little because I feel they are worth more than that. But I am ok right now.
Kale is very good for them. It has a lot of vitamins and fiber.
We had freezing rain until 9:00 this morning. Glad it warmed up, walking on sheet ice-YUCK.It's 56 degrees outside and is sprinkling.... very warm storm. Yesterday it was SUPER warm! I wore a T-shirt for the first time in a month or two!
