I hatched and sold all last year, Sally. Around here even mutt hens can go $20 in their first season. I had trouble with the sussex because no one knew what they were, which is why I'm in a breed pickle right now. It takes too long to gain footing. Of course my customers were usually repeat and very generous with praise. But I made sure to always follow up with them.
I'm a member of about 8 poultry groups on fb.

Our CL is mostly repeats from fb. Plus I'm in a "network" of chicken folks I can call when I'm looking for something.
Just everyone is being real stingy with eggs right now. :/
