Good luck with the bird sales.

i'm glad the daddy pig is going to pull throughAfter two days of force feeding electrolyte water down the mouth of the boar, along with a shot of B Complex vitamins and the magic bullet of a single dose of oxytetracycline, Pig 21 is standing up and walking around.
We have increased his protein level to 30% to try and maximize his caloric intake.
It looks like he is going to make it.
I have no idea as to what caused his illness. No outward symptoms except weakness. It came on over 24 hrs.The antibiotic may have not been appropriate but I did not want to take the risk of waiting for him to get worse.
I am running a promotional "special" on my excess mutts:
A 'grab bag promo' for customers ordering trios;
6-10 week old straight run mix breed or excess pure breeds of my gardeners choice (the first ones he catches lol) but he will try and 'select' a good mix of colors. No requests and no breed ID tags. They could be blue or green egg layers with a hint of polish in their ancestory, Marans crosses producing dark eggs, pure barred rocks, orpingtons, andalusians, brown leghorns, naked necks, white rocks, jersey giants or a cross of any and all - only thing guaranteed is live birds and more likely crosses than pure breds.
They are ideal for a nice free range flock or developing a great hybrid cross with local chickens.
4 for P1000 ($25), 10 for P2000 ($50), 25 for P4000 ($100). 50 for P7500 ($187) 100 for P14000 ($350) plus the cost of shipping
how old is your duck?My duck was all yellow now it is turning white
got any yellow paint?My duck was all yellow now it is turning white
Absloutely.I am not as advanced as you on the gene side of things Oz, so I would need to play catch up on the mixes to be able to contribute from that aspect.
I would like to maybe mention a few other points though. I am sure you would have given some consideration to them, but I just wanted to double check. Feel free to kick back if I am off course here.
This venture was done largely for love, but also to make money. If it makes money then it needs some level of protection. In this case, if you are creating a hybrid of your very own then some sort of protection needs to be considered. If it's good enough for the 'big guys' to protect their four breeds and their special genes then you should too.
In your case, you aim to money from something that is not available locally. A special mix of imported genes to fill a stop gap in the market. I'm not suggesting a patent or anything that drastic, but I would be wary about what genes (or mix) you do sell to reduce the chance of your mix being replicated by someone down the road with your own stock. Maybe once you do settle on a genetic recipe keep the final ingredients on the low down.
I am sure you know what I am trying to say, at the moment you are the only one with the right ingredients, try keep the advantage.
Really keen to read up on the genes and mixes.
