Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[chicksooner]

I know, I'm just teasing you

I didn't know the ticks in the US are that big!

I think she doesn't want the hassle of caring for the little ones and selling them to people who doesn't know etc. Up to 2 weeks they are fairly high maintenance too and she's going to sell them to impulse buyers who are probably not going to have a brooder and heat lamp ready. I don't mind raising them until they are stronger. They are still cute at 6 weeks. I'm already thinking of another possibility with this venture. If people buy chickens they are going to need to put them in something... and the nearest place that sells coops are 1. blooming expensive and 2. quite a distance from here...

you have great entrepreneurial spirit. This batch of chicks is already sold. My baby named the first to hatch Super Chick. Had to explain that they are going to a new home and not staying here. He was a very disappointed boy. Makes selling my chicks a little harder.

In South Africa we had to do all sorts of weird and wonderful things to keep our heads above water. We sold chickens, eggs, meat, baked bread, cooked and sold jam... Lots of things! It was crazy, but fun. Most of the time. I hope the mealworms and the chicks selling business will take off here. well, the market's already there for mealworms. I just hope the chicks will sell well also. And I don't get too attached to them!

Oh Sally, YUCK!!! Gosh, did you have to do that? *shudder*

I've got my fingers crossed into knots that these ideas will take off and work. It will be great! DH already got the first batch of worms in my (former) washing tub with chick crumbs and carrots to eat. Spoiled brats.

I used to make plain white loafs with a twist. I rolled out the dough (about an inch thick), painted a little olive oil on it and then sprinkled chopped sun dried tomato and herbs on it before rolling it up and baking it. Yum!

Here's a recipe for you:
