Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

[Wishing4Wings]

Quote: The right parents for the right kids. Warms my heart.
Kids are often smarter than we give them credit for, and even if a concept isn't understood fully the first time, parts of it will get filed away and sorted into the Big Picture at a later time. I learned a lot about life and nature growing up on a small ranch. It's a deeper understanding than you can get from a book.

Creating a market for my poultry

So about 75% of my sales are generated on facebook

Facebook is all about getting people to your page. Once there - some will contact me. then some of them will buy chickens.

About 15 hours ago I posted how to way a goat using a tape measure. I then shared the post with a group. it got some attention

Oz when are you next going over to Cocobeach (I want to plan my journey jk) I'm just curious to see when you are going to develop some of the breeds that failed. Do you have any plans to take eggs over?

Thanks, I'm curious to see if the golf bag returns

The Philippines just banned eggs from Oregon. if they also ban cali, I will not be taking eggs.

My Bresse are now 9 weeks old. in four months I hope i will have a decent amount of offspring to get the numbers up to 40 pullets by November. Half the girls will become a sex link project.

I am going to try and get cream legbars going. They are my holy grail.

The market is interesting. You can buy point of lay leghorns for under 10 bucks, day old meaties for a dollar. Then there is a guy selling Light brahma breeding pairs for $210.

My "specialty" birds I am going to only sell as adults. Including legbars, polish and faverolles. I can keep less stock and just sell a few pairs a month at $150. These I have to re-import.It will take a year to establish them

Yep - Facebook is brilliant for chook and egg sales
I think it accounts for 100% of my sales at present.
