Hey marty, whats up with the numbers next to your names?

 

[Marty1876]

Cook! Whats yours Cochin? I know mine is an Irish womans name.

Guess who bough 4 sebastopol goslings today????

They are the number of people in the US who selected that name for their childs first name in 2010. What, you all don't keep lists like that?

I got it off google somewhere. I'd allready used up the names I could think of.....

Of course! I got two colored sebs, and two curly whites out of color and white stock. They will throw some color goslings. Eggs sell for $20 each (more on ebay) and goslings (new, no guarantees yet) sell for $50 to start. I'm making them buy their own ruddy food! They'll be shipping out of Florida either tomarrow, or next Monday, depending on when my box arrives. Its allready been in the mail for a week now.

(the box they will be shipped in, they ARE NOT in the box yet)

They sound gorgeous! You should open a hatchery Marty!

 

[Marty1876]

No thank you! LOL If I had a better incubator, I would definately hatch and sell more offspring, since chicks are more valuable most of the time. But, its not in the works yet. DH is supposed to build me a cabinet bator, but not few several more monthes. Next spring, though, I'll be hatching more. Maybe you should keep sebs, since they are so valuable. Mandarin ducks would be good too. Or swans. (Can you say $1500/pair?)

 

[Kevin565]

I'd love to raise swans! But I already bid on some Zebra Eggs

 

[Marty1876]

Yea, I heard about that! I wonder, how long do you have to incubatate those rascals? Can they be set under a goat, or does it take either geese or zebras?
