While having coffee with the ladies today (a weekly thing) the conversation turned to eggs, specifically my eggs! A couple of the ladies have become egg snobs and definite repeat customers, citing that they love all the colors they come in. Then one gal (not a customer) said she would not eat green eggs.... So we all started citing "Green Eggs & Ham" lines at her. Hilarious!

LOL! I have some customers that specify they do not want green or blue eggs.......??? People are nuts. Most of the time anymore I don't mess with selling the eggs. We still have over 140 chickens and we get at least 2 dozen eggs everyday. What we don't eat at home, I donate to a food pantry. They don't care what color the egg is.

@minihorse927 , I hadn't heard about all the fairs, swaps & such being affected. I am glad they are trying to put a handle on it before it gets out of hand. We are cautious about biosecurity here. We only wear our chicken boots back to our coop. I don't have any farmer friends visiting. And I always quarantine 30-60 days. But really, all it takes is a fly over with bird flu and my whole flock is gone. My daughter wanted to be in 4H this year. I told her maybe next year. Maybe she will show rabbits instead.
I hadn't given you a good update lately. On the chickens I bought from you, the 2 CCL hens got killed by Pepper (bird dog), one CCL rooster got attacked & he was already limping from a previous unknown injury. He is now fine & no longer limping

. The other 2 roosters are doing great. M

I've got soooooo many ducklings. Just got 3 orders tho for the older ones. I'm down to hatching green and grey eggs only now since I'm so overrun in ducklings. Especially now that I can't take any to swaps to sell!

I am staying away from flock swaps currently. I am giving away 18 Calico Cochin Bantam and Babydoll Calico Cochin Bantam Chicks. I gave away 24 Eng Orps and 12 Easter Eggers to prevent the need to go.

 

[minihorse927]

Ah, I wish I would have knew about the orps! I'd have drove to get them!

 

[minihorse927]

If I would have took them to swaps, they wouldn't have come home with me for the obvious reasons. I wouldn't dare buy anything there either this year.

No swaps for me till Sept or Oct or atleast till the Avian flu is past.

Ohio said no more swaps, shows, or sales of poultry in large groups the rest of the year. Only private sales.
