Wendy I have had good luck selling on Craigslist here. Pictures help......I would post pictures of the adult birds & type up a description of the breed & it's uses, size, egg color etc.

Thank you Karen!! I didn't want to bug you...AGAIN.

What are the pros and cons of each? Which one should I try first?

Mine all just started laying in early January and most have actually gotten darker.  I have the one that had some sort of trauma last summer as a young pullet and could not walk or stand for a couple of weeks and I'm wondering if whatever happened damaged her "paint pot".  I haven't been able to catch her in the nest, but I know what all the other's eggs look like.  I  am finding some that I think are hers.  They are very light...not even any speckles.   But at least they are also very large.

That is why the sop says they have to lay a 4 at the begining of the cycle only. Egg color can shift a lot! As the eggs get bigger they also get lighter. I have been happy with egg color so far this season. Amazingly consistant!

I take them with a grain of salt. My husband uses it often, mostly for our car hobby. And he's in law enforcement, so we know how to play it safe.

I just HATE flakes!!

I dont know but im guessing your box got chilled . Unless it could have eaten a piece of bedding?

When you list something, and simeone calls and begs because this item is PERFECT and they have arranged a ride AND have the cash...

And then you wait and wait for this poor pitiful soul to show up, and now your dinner is late and you never hear from them again.

Ok...maybe I have a small chip on my shoulder. I'll repent later.
