Absolutely! Developing ANY photos is an amazing feat, to me! It would be like Chinese...
I wish we had, had photography back in my days at school...but that's for a whole other thread. We better stick to the topic at hand before we upset anybody

email through byc email for any photo questions and I will do the same with any info on better use of your fuji. Henry-pm me your email address, if you can, so I can send a couple of your pics w/ a couple of things I caught on your previous pics. It's easier than uploading to byc, etc.

Thanks guys! Have a great night! We all know that Muddergoose will with her "hot chocolate"

Lucky dog.

I just have his e-bay e-mail...that's all he gives that I know of. Anyhow, here's the last message I got from him at the end of last week:

Hi All,

I’m selling all of my Black Copper Maran’s as I’m moving out of state. These chickens were hatched on June 24th and are 5 months+ old. Some hens are already laying and some will be laying in couple of weeks. For pictures and prices, see the link below,

Please also check the prices of their eggs on eBay. They can pay back for themselves with just 2-3 dozen eggs. I cannot ship and they are for pick-up only starting end of december.

Anyone have an update on this? If not, I will e-mail Chris Hansen from Dateline (TO CATCH A PREDATOR!) to do a sting.

We could ask if he'd be willing to deliver and Chris can paypal him an extra $100 ahead of time, as a deposit.

Can you just see it:

He knocks on the door, eggs in hand

Peachick yells from the other room, "Come on in and help yourself to some cookies. I'll be out in a minute."

He puts the eggs on the counter, sits on a stool, and takes a cookie.

He yells, "The cookies are great. Are the chocolate chips REAL chocolate?"

Peachick says, "Of course, I only use the finest ingredients, including real marans eggs that register a 9 on the shade card. I use 1 Davis Egg and 1 Jeane egg to give it that extra special "RICHNES$"

He says, "Wow, well you're in luck. My eggs are actually from ALL of those lines. And I'm not going to charge you anymore money for them! Just a $500 service charge for my intelligence."

Chris Hansen walks out and says, "How ya doin? What's happenin'?

Mr ** says, "What's goin' on.

Chris says, "You tell me what's going on? I'm Chris. How you doing?

Mr ** says, "You're not a chook cop, are ya? You look like a chook cop."

Chris says, "You know what you look like? You look like you're a little nervous. Mind if I see your eggs? So, you say these are ALL from Davis, Jeane, Valentine lines? Mr. **, were you going to sell these eggs to Peachick?" He picks one up and his fingers get stained. He smells his fingers.

By now, Peachick has come out of the other room with a baseball cap and dark glasses on to protect her identity.

Mr ** shakes his head nervously. "Nah, man....I was just gonna show her how to blow them and make crafts out of, em, man. That's all. That's all I was gonna do, man."

Chris says, "I'm Chris Hansen from Dateline and you've just been busted for trying to pass off standard tea-stained store eggs as high end designer, boutique, black copper marans eggs."

You can finish this story any way you want to. But that's what I think we should do!!

I will be selling the eggs that are the lineage of the chicks from Jesse and Janice Bryant.

I'm keeping a wait list for the eggs and will be selling for $50 a dozen including shipping.

More info is:https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=101080
Let me know if you have any questions or want to be added to the egg list. Thanks.

I'm in Georgia.

WOW!!!

Just out of curiousity I went back to see where these ended. $360 + $60 s&h = $420 for 6 chicks!!!! I could never spend that much not knowing what I was getting

Hope whoever got them got at least 2 pullets....

 

[hcammack]

I agree I am not paying that much for even sexed chicks but then again I am luck because I have a great local source of chicks.
