(What do these mean "X2 & X3"?)

depends on the context they are used in. Sometimes it's 2 people agreeing with each other and other times it might be someone saying they have 2 batches of 12 hatching eggs orders for sale.

I still have an incubator available . . .


BIN - Brinsea Octagon 20 Eco Incubator with turning cradle $190 includes shipping

It's about two years old, don't remember exactly when I got it. The thermometer got broke so you you'll need to get a replacement thermometer for it. The Octagon 20 is $200 (currently on sale for $180) and the turner is $100 (currently on sale for $90). Brinsea wants $42 shipping (to my zip code, might be different cost to your zip code). Brand new this set up will cost you $312. Or get my used set up for $190 plus thermometer ($10 if you get one from Brinsea).


SOLD!

BIN - exacctly 6 Ayam Cemani eggs $120 includes shipping

My line is still a work in progress with high cull rates. Last weekend I sorted 16 juveniles and only 3 were good enough to keep any longer. Things I culled for were pink mouths/tongues, greenish legs, pink starting to show in comb/wattles, or feather color leakage. 3 of 16 is an 81% cull rate. I expect the final cull rate before any are put into breeding pens to be 95% or more. Last year I kept less than 10% of my grow outs. This year's birds are much better than last year's, but I'm being even more critical about which ones to keep. My standards are high and so are my cull rates. Other breeders have reported culling 80%-97%.

If you buy these eggs you accept that chicks from these eggs won't be perfect. These can give you a start if you're willing to work on them or if you just like pretty yard art and aren't too concerned about the faults. You will definitley get some culls from these eggs, but you also have a chance to get some awesome FM birds, too, about an 18% chance for a good one based on my first round of assessments. I'll update these statistics as I grow out and assess more birds.

Why am I telling you all this instead of just showing some pretty pictures? Because I don't want you to have any illusions about what you are buying. This breed needs a lot of work. It is not for the faint of heart. It is not for those expecting perfection in every chick hatched. And I don't want anyone accusing me of behing dishonest. This is what I've got.

I have three breeding pens set up:
Blue Pen - TM roo over TM hen (a pair)
Red Pen - GFF/TM roo over TM hen (a pair)
Green Pen - GFF roo over three TM hens (a quad)

You will get eggs from all pens. I set eggs every Saturday. If not sold these will be set for myself on Saturday. Only the most recent/freshest six eggs will be shipped. DH collects eggs for me and I don't have him trained yet to mark which pen eggs are coming from. I'm working on that.

I'll upload some pictures here when I get home tonight. Or you can view pictures on my FB personal page (Candace Waldon) or my FB poultry page (Tar Babies Poultry).

Offer is valid through Wednesday night 2/11/2015. I will not ship eggs after Thursday.

Feel free to posts questions. If you have a question, someone else probably has the same question.

Thanks for looking.

come on tax refund

i am determined to get me some of these chickens....Trexroo has brought up the silly but slightly logical thought that i have no place to put the $120 chickens......unless their sleeping with us and we are kicking the dogs out. Darn the logic.

 

[cjwaldon]

Wait till you get a $2500 chicken. I still claim insanity on that one. I was a wreck waiting for him to get old enough to breed.

Greenfire knocked them down to $99 per live chick now...but i would still be freaked out...pack the live chicken in bubblewrap..in a padded room...behind a padlocked door...next to my bedroom....after i quit my job so i could be there 24/7 with the chickens and then the incubator

Until i starved to death....from fear of leaving the house.

 

[birdman55]

I thought they were at 199 for day old cemani....?
