Okay everyone... I find I must now come clean. I DO own a hatchery.
Yes, yes, I know that you may find you are surprised by this and are saying to yourselves:
"Nifty owns a hatchery?? How could this be? He lives in a very suburban area. He's never posted about it or mentioned where we could attain his high quality hatchlings!?!?"
Well, it isn't really a secret. I mean, I started this small hatchery almost exactly 2 years ago, and come on.... you guys have all received at least 1 or more of my sweet little ones. In fact, I've been hatching more of them over the past few months than ever before.
Problem is, sales are tight. It may be the economy, but I'm starting to suspect that my lack of sales has something to do with my breed. You see, I've been hatching trolls since I started BYC Forum Hatchery 2 years ago. Sure, we started with only about 1 a week, but as things got busy we started to see more and more.
Thank goodness the BYC staff have been able to help me place a good number of these hatching trolls before they grow too large.
