This is the artist who makes use of my infertile turkey eggs. She takes incubated clears, so it's a great reuse of what is a waste product for me.
Thanks WV!!! I kno im not Fightin nobody!
Rayvn i drempt about Your calls! I kno, i kno! Im nuts... Almost never remember my dreams either! I only want to take part in the hatching challenge of it for the experience... In my dream i guess i was in your coop, they were nested down all over the place and had to be what i remmeber seeing in your pics because ive never seen ducks like those!
u
No hes not, But i think he portrays the character better than any other actor i can think of, and thats a huge character challenge!
I like your style :cool ! I love books that make me ponder ulterior motives. I look on my shelf because i could swear i have a Rapp book, i have two or three police type right up your alley but all i can find roght now is Clancy.
fun stuff! Glad i check in! Off runnin again, but ill be back later!
This took me more then a good minute to figure out what the heck you were talking about!!!Now I know how my kids feel!! Keeping the hope alive that we'll all live under one roof again......someday.
Ok, thank you. Great info! I will get that dropper bottle you are talking about. I did my homework on which was the best one and the valbazen seemed to get the most points, so I ordered a small bottle from a vet online. Now, I just have to figure out the dosages.
You better be saving those for incubation!! Are you???
That is super cool! I was going to ask if those were pine needles but I guess they are. Never even thought about making hay/straw out of them!
Yup!! Lol!! Found someone "local" (2 hours) with mag-pie and I forget the other color. We were chatting because he was trying to sell me two pairs of mandarins. I asked if he would sell the call duck eggs in spring and he said they are his wife's but "maybe if she has extra"....didn't really sound promising at all. But what do you think about the mag-pie? He sent pics from a show they won.
With 3 boys (one being a baby), I will have to wait at least 5 years before I get the chance to read a good book again! No joke! My goal is to read storeys duck guide this winter! That means I'll have to sacrifice my byc time, tough!
After a while, you can tell the good local ads from the bad ones. I try to take up close pics to show as accurately as I can what the birds really look like. You see chickens here for $2, too, but there is either no pic, or the picture is a group shot taken through a fence. Usually the trailer and El Camino are visible in the background
I think $15 is cheap for some of my birds, but I also don't haggle that price. If someone wants 6 or more birds, I will drop to $12, but I won't go below $15 for less than that. I'm not competing in price with the guy down the street with the barnyard mixes. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the mixes, but my birds are worth more. This was my first year hatching and selling, and I have a calling list for next year, so hopefully I won't have to do CL forever
Pokey has beautiful birds, and some really spectacular pastel colors, I just wish he didn't advertise them as pure Ameraucana. He's only about 30 minutes from meI'm jealous... would love to go to Carlsbad... been to Mammoth Cave in KY though, that was awesome... happy belated, DH!!
Enjoy your trip and have fun!!
lmao... now I want to know what your dream ducks looked like!!
I think Valbazen is .5cc/.5ml for a 6lb chicken, dose once and then again in 10 days... I'll grab the link to the thread Kathy (casportpony) made... she is genius for figuring dosages...
You gonna send me those pics then??
Would like magpies, but I won't go crazy chasing them, lol...
Chocolate Pied?? Now that I could use... hmmmm...
Start sweet talking his wife, Ruby...
Not saying they should be SQ prices, but do not undervalue your birds... if you do, you'll always be stuck in the lower end...
There ya go... pick a range and stick to it... might take a bit, but the quality will speak for itself and you'll get decent prices...
People will judge your stock on how you price them as well... too high and they'll never look twice, too low and they'll wonder what's wrong with them... get a medium average and don't drop the bottom out of your prices ever...
I've seen Pokey's quite a bit on ebay... they list pure Ohiki too... have always wondered if they really were or not... now I wonder more... :/
I couldn't tell you. Down here an Ohiki is what a redneck girl leaves on her boyfriend
"Bobby Sue done give Cletus an Ohiki"
"Just wait til their mama finds out"
Nope. My phone number's in it
My number is under the reply button. It's bad enough that the local rednecks can find it, but if the Yankees ever get ahold of it...
