FLORIDA!!!!!ALWAYS SUNNY SIDE UP!!!

Does anyone in the Jacksonville area have some hatching eggs to sell? I've tried the craigslist ads, but haven't gotten a response. I have a very determined broody, and I wanted to give her some eggs to sit. I could order some, but I would rather have local. Breed isn't particularly important, I'm not looking for special eggs. I would prefer blue or green eggs, but really just need something to give her. I don't even know if she will be a very good broody, but she seems determined to try! Thanks for any help!

Go to the farm swaps. Tons of people bring fertile hatching eggs. Wish I was closer to Jacksonville there's several great swaps, bent creek, st Augustine, middle burg, tractor supply....

A reminder of the upcoming Dunnellon TSC Farm Swap this Saturday April 12th, 2014

If you are just thinking about chickens or small livestock or already have an established flock, then you won't want to miss this event on the 2nd Sat monthly. Come join us for a day of talking, swapping and selling poultry and small livestock. Swap stories and information. Buy/ Sell/ Trade anything and everything to do with poultry and small livestock, rabbits, goats, & etc. Hoping this Spring is finding you hatching lots of chicks. But now that you are hatching, what are you going to do with all of them? You pick out the best to keep for your own personal stock, you might sell a few to neighbors for their own flocks but that still leaves you with lots of extra chicks. Maybe this Spring is giving you baby bunnies or goat kids or maybe even an extra calf or two. Maybe you have eating eggs or hatching eggs to sell. How about some pieces of old farm equipment, a small tractor, harrow or what have you. Maybe you have fresh fruits and vegetables or maybe plants and trees. What are you going to do? Bring it on down to the Dunnellon Tractor Supply Company Farm Swap. Located in the parking lot of the Dunnellon Tractor Supply Company. Great exposure, lots of parking, lots of potential buyers. Runs the 2nd Saturday of every month from 9am usually around 2pm. This is a farm swap only so we ask that there are no flea market or garage sale items. You can also bring farm related craft type items like goat soaps and lotions. Tell your neighbors, tell your friends, heck we don’t care if you tell your enemies. Meet us the Dunnellon Tractor Supply Company for a beautiful day of buying, selling or swapping your farm related wares.

I was at the last Bent Creek, but didn't need eggs then. I was hoping to get her on something this week. I did research the duck egg option, I didn't know that hens could hatch ducklings! I was thinking that since this is my first time I should do chicken eggs, but right now I'm not finding any, so maybe we should try duck?

Oh I definitely support that decision I have TONS of ducks. I do warn you though, they are addicting!!!!

Oh and yes they can hatch duck eggs! I've even heard of them hatching geese eggs, which would be funny to see.

Wishing we could go to the swap in Dunellon....but alas no funds and the only thing we have to swap is 3 sweet calico kittens. I think the white pointed male is taken by our next door neighbor. We have 3 cats and 3 chickens and the chickens win the staredown contest every time

they all free range in our backyard. The horse just nudges them all out of the way. So if anyone cares for a kitty they are not weaned yet (maybe by next week) but mama is still hiding them out in my walk in closet LOL will try to add a picture if anyone wants to see them.
