That's how the poultry swaps here are. Everyone sells out in the first half hour. Problem is they're about 2 or 3 hours from my house and it's hard to get there when all the action is going on. I guess I could cage up the night before and leave well before dawn.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!
That is awesome! Glad that you had such good luck!!
It's raining!!! It's raining!!! (Started RIGHT after I came in from chicken chores.)

Interesting! I feel like I should keep this one here, I want to see what's up. Amusingly the chicks mostly seem to be fairly identical for each mix... Can't wait till they grow outYou should but avoid the touristy areas. I've been there more times than I can count. Aside from that one day foray into Tijuana, My first real visit was on my honeymoon. We spent half of it in Cancun and half on Isla Mujeres. It was a long time ago before Cancun was built up. There were only about 6 hotels there. Now there are hundreds on both the ocean side and the lagoon side. On our honeymoon, the only thing on the lagoon side was a restaurant out over the water called Lorenzillos. It may still be there. The wait staff fed crocodiles off the side of the deck. Isla Mujeres is really built up now. There were only 2 real lodging options then. There used to be a charter airline (MLT vacations) that would sell cheap last minute tickets from here to Cancun, Cozumel, Puerto Vallarta and Cabo. That's how we were able to go so often. We would fly to those tourist destinations and then either get on a bus or rent a car and get out of town into the countryside or to a remote beach destination. There are places with beautiful white sand beaches and crystal clear water that go on for 40 miles with not a person in sight. Air fare was usually between $120 and $250 pp. Once, after Y2K, I took my whole family for $25 a person. We rented a Mayan hut on the beach for $50. No electricity or running water. You had to get water out of the well out back to flush the toilet. We've been to many of the Mayan archeological sites, some multiple times. Tulum,Tikal, Coba, Chichen Itza and the minor ones on Isla and Cozumel. I want to go to Palenque. We discovered some of the most amazing places by accident just getting out into the countryside. We went horseback riding in the mountains north of Puerto Vallarta (where I discovered Herradura tequila) and went to an incredible 80 meter waterfall. that we swam in. We had to tie the horses off in the river and climb another mile but it was worth it.
We stumbled onto this place when trying to drive to the southern end of the Yucatan peninsula.
I never claimed to be a genetics expert. But I think all bets are off once you start crossing. I crossed a penedesenca and a welsummer. Both from lines of extremely dark eggs. I was excited to see the egg color of the offspring. It was just a normal brown egg. I guess the genes that made up the dark pigment cancelled each other out. I just butchered a cockerel from a penedesenca rooster (erect carnation comb) and a EE (pea comb) He had a flopped over carnation comb like a Mediterranean hen. I thought he was a pullet for a long time because of the flopped over comb. Some of the EEs offspring are all black and some are brown. I've gotten some amazing colored cockerels from a black Pene rooster and a light Jaerhon hen. But there are never 2 the same. They're great for sun but a problem with a lot of wind. At least I didn't say anything of substance. Some people have thin skin.
