Just a certain time of yr you are supposed to eat them Cap. Worms I think ?

I don't care about eating the rabbit, i just want it to stop eating stuff i plant! You cannot believe how much it ate! Those beans were starting to climb! They ate the lettuce and the tops of some carrots i was letting go to seed. And all of my pea plants! I am going to have to stake down the fence around the berry patch and the new garden.
Tonight i lowered the hot wire where i think the rabbit may have pushed under the fence. And i put chicken wire around 3 and a half raised beds before the pneumatic stapler died and i ran out of fence. I cut boards at an angle, and hubby pounded them into the ground at the corners of the raised beds. Then i attached the wire to the stakes, and the edge of the raised beds.

hahaaa What if they are sick like the big coop ? Should I even sell them ? My mind is going in circles for real. Nothing on them to cook.

I don't think I would sell sick birds, just not moral. Unless you tell the people and their use for the birds is not affected by the birds' illness (whatever that is).

we used to eat the pea's and then chew up the pods suck out the juice and then spit the "silage" back out.

Waste not, want not!

She told me I need to charge more for the eggs lol

She can always pay more of her own volition, or give you a tip

I dont think its fair peeps w/ no brats has to pay . That I understand.

An educated population is a good population. I'd sure hate to go back to the days when only rich kids got an education. There aren't many jobs anymore for illiterate people.

trying to remember what I sold the last batch for. $25. I think. Maybe 10 chicks ? I cant remember crap. Its aggravating

The cheapest breeds from the big hatcheries straight run are around $2.75 and then there is the shipping You can base your price on that. Local birds have no 2-3 day travel stress, no shipping cost.

These are convinced I am the chicken devil and totally freak out whenever they see me.

Treats can bribe most any chicken. I have some that are skittish and sure wouldn't eat BOSS or scratch from my hand but they come running with the rest when treats are to be had. They just don't get as close. If any of my birds, even those that aren't skittish, feel they are trapped and start to freak, I just stop moving. Then they appear to think "Oh, no problem here", calm down and walk where they want to go.

Going shopping tomorrow to buy more chicken wire, get more wood, and buy feed. That rabbit is seriously in trouble if i catch it. The trap is set, going to put some tempting greens in there before i go to bed.
