Winter

Why are you upset about this???

upon pre set.. I took a tiny deposit to do a stranger a favor and hatch specific breeds we have. They assured me they would take them shortly after the hatch. They have made ZERO attempts to communicate w/me and their phone has a disconnected message playing when I try to call them. The message has been there for a week at least. I just sold off close to 100 unneeded chickens at a loss that were putting us in the poor house and now I have a jammed packed brooder again. Chicks sell in the spring. NOT winter. I am stuck with them until March/April. I still have an ungodly amount of pre adults & adults left over from last seasons batches. It's is easy to say just process them & freezer camp em-chickens.. but it is hours and hours of labor & the freezers are full. We have 3 feeder swine going to process very soon.. yard birds are taking up too much space.
NO MORE DEPOSIT incubations... all up front unless the quote is not met.

Kind of barbaric but you could just euthanize them

I will place an ad on Craigs troll list & they will be gone in 30 minutes if I say "free".

I seriously stopped hand turning them days ago when the communication ended. Turned out making the hatch rate increase. Healthy little boogers. Rocks & Javas.. They were due on turkey day morn.. but instead of thurs.. saturday.. The lack of turning I suppose. Temp & RH was perfect..

Lucky. A new feed store moved in here a few years back and the chicken market has been completely shot since then. I used to be able to sell my birds in hours.

Can't even give mine away now... I've quit listing since it never works.

Good luck finding them homes
