Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

Funny story....

On Saturday we had some regulars come out to get eggs and see the horses. They brought their obnoxious know it all relatives along because they are getting chickens. My hubby decided to show them all the chickens that are not in our house. Well the know it all went around naming chicken breeds, but in general getting them wrong according to my son. When they left they took a business card with them.

So today I got a call from the guy. He wanted to know where I got those lilac laced white birds. I was at a loss. I'm going through all our breeds that have white on them in my head and trying to figure out what he's talking about. He starts going on about what a rare breed they are and he has been looking for some just like them. I'm still lost. Then he starts on about how the lilac is so pretty and that most people call silver lilac. I'm thinking this guy is whacked. Anyway if I can remember where I got them from and how much I paid for them he would really appreciate it. Well now I'm curious as to what he's been blabbering on about, so I asked him which house they were near. He's says they were in the metal shed in the brooder. Oh my god I finally figured out what he has been talking about.

When I'm brooding white chicks of any sort I blueKote their pin feathers on their tails to prevent picking. When the feathers grow out they are stained with the purplish stuff. It does look like lacing, but its not permanent. Its gone with the first molt. So those beautiful lilac laced white chicks are just Tetra Tints that got their butts sprayed about a month ago. I'm so tempted to tell him they are the last of their breed. What I did tell him is that it must have been a trick of the lights as there were no white birds in the brooder. I bet he thinks they were all purple now!

Are you talking about chickencommander? Don't know them but read their feedback. How are you going to have an auction up for Legbar hens/roo when the previous auction you couldn't provide a rooster or a refund for the rooster you didn't send?

I kind of figured as much, hadn't taken the time to read it all, just wondered if any of ya'll knew anything... I've pretty much decided to stick with getting stuff from you guys or, when I get more Marans, someone off the Marans club.. sheesh..

I know a few sellers on there but the rest I wouldn't even try. If I really want something that bad I'm sure someone here has it or will eventually.

Again... ditto above!!

got a blue slate pipped!!!!

Quote: I am not trying to add to the FORD bashing BUT I have a Milan, nice car I LOVE it really. As soon as my extended warranty ran out 2 door handles (plastic) broke. AND we just had to have the AC fixed. It was a cheap part $35 the repair man called me MAD I need to talk to your husband.... was it the sensor YES that thing is behind the dash and the WHOLE dash as to come out.... $400 later I have an AC. I read were people had paid over $1000 to fix the stupid sensor. The repairman said FORD should have to fix that.... just STUPID!

I still love my car and have owned FORD stock.... and will again I am sure. I do think the designers don't worry about repairs, until they have to pay the price.

Most people leave off the PLYMOUTH part they are usually just BR.... Barred Rocks. The Real name would be Barred Plymouth Rocks. Color, Variety, then Breed.
