EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[BantyChooks]

I can squeeze another 50$ for the all, but I am wondering if I it is worth all the fuss.

$50 pays for quite a few bags of feed... I'd be tempted, unless of course it's not worth it to you.

So basically it is more a question of training ( of both the horse and rider) and equipment , then the breed.

its still both things breed and training

compare these:

the 1st is a percheron, a very heavy work-horse, they can weigh up to 2600 lbs (1180 kilos) they have think legs and are very well muscled. i used to show one in dressage -it felt like he would slam his giant feet into the ground but if you think about it that foot carries 650# on it

this is a Morgan, they generally weigh less than 1000 lbs and they were intended as a dual breed, they ride and drive, they have shorter thicker legs but obviously not as gigantic as a cold-blood/work/draft horse, they are known for their ground covering 'working trot' and can cover a lot of distance very quickly with minimum exertion

this is (i think) an arab cross (legs are a little too long to be a pure arab) but they are very fine and defined

a tennesee walker, can be dual purpose but mainly just riding, but they are well muscled and not as fine boned as an arabian, very comfy gaits and have great endurance


it all depends on what someone intends to do with the animal as to what breed or crossing. Many horses start out driving because you can drive much younger than riding.

Someone offers to buy 4 of my 2 years old BPR hens and 1 Partridge rock hen for 200$. you think I should sell? It is even before me advertising.

wow!! thats a lot of money!! but depending on demand

Thank you Liz!
From all of them I like the tennesee walker! It seems very beautiful and wonderfully built!
Not very much for 5 full grown hens! One good silky chick can fetch 60$.
