CH why you have them on newspaper? We've gone over this.

Banti I already sent a nice little ovation kindly suggesting that but right now his only concern is how much he can get a piece for unsexed mixed breed chicks!!! Stay focused woman!!!!!

Oops, my bad.

We've gone over this too, CH... It depends on the market for them. Here, you can't even give them away.

what do you do with all the babies you hatch?

I have a lot of birds Which ones are you talking about? I sell or give away my seramas and I don't hatch my mixed breeds-I sell eggs for $3-$4 a dozen and duck eggs for $5 a dozen. None of my LF are seperated so I don't hatch until I decide what kind of birds I want to breed. Then I set up a separate coop/run and wait a few weeks and then hatch and sell a pure breed when i find out what the market is for.

I was curious what hawk does - since he's a minor - I think it's great how tolerant his parents are of his breeding/hatching hobby!

I know that I'd put a limit to my kids animals, she'd have a zoo 100000x bigger than the "little farm" we have now if we let her!! LOL

I just wondered if he sold all the chicks, or what he did with them!

Duck goose hybrid :lol

I found it! It is an Egyptian goose. Not native to the US. I don't have a clue where it came from...
