Yeah, the shipping is definitely pretty crazy!!! Ends up being like $50 or $75 or whatever for like $20 worth of birds if thatExactly.
Meyers used to be my preferred hatchery and I live close enough to drive there on occasion.
I think nearly all the other hatcheries have small orders too, but dang....it ends up being like $10 a chick for the most common breeds. Highway robbery, particularly since I remember what I paid for my starter birds back then. Like a third or a quarter of what the same hatcheries are charging now.
Back when I first started with chicks no one, and I mea NO one had small orders. 15 was the limit.... no if, ands, or buts.
And they seem to go up a ton every year too!! I can see like a few cents maybe but they go up quite a bit it seems!!
It’s good they have small orders though I guess since so many people want backyard chickens now and not like 50 Leghorns or Sex Links but still.
sounds worse to me then any virus just saying. I have yet personally known any one who is dieing because of this virus, but I know many who have lost their jobs \businesses That may not be recoverable. I can understand how viruses could adapt from an animal to a human body but you would think with having more habitat around (which is what they promote) you would have more risk of a virus spreading form a animal to a human ,Correct? If evolution is real like they say wouldn't that mean we are part of it? so is cutting down trees is part of evolution and will evolve to what it's supposed to be, right? Sorry just a little confused? I farm for a side job or more of a life style. I bought a abandoned farm that was full of brush and trees and I re cleared the fields back to what they use to be when farming was a common lifestyle, I can't see no benefit to letting my field become a bunch of brush and trees for the environment. Because of the drop in gran and dairy prices They're are now many abandoned fields on my street and the only environmentally related difference I can tell is the increase in varmints attacking my chickens. I don't mean to bash you, I try to respect every ones opinions on things . I'm just trying to understand this from my point of view...
you don't talk to your chickens?
