Glad to hear about your uncle. I think it's so important for a person to be able to stay "at home" as long as possible. I LOVE to watch my girls run around chasing bugs, etc. Some days it's better than a glass of wine for relaxing me... Great idea, donating the eggs. Right now I have a few neighbors I drop eggs off to. I'll have to look at some options like you did...

:( :(   My condolences!  If they might be good breeding stock maybe you could sell them as such.  Or sell them for people to just grow out and put into their freezer.

How many more babies are coming?

I usually have 2 guys that come over ever year and get a ram. They have a ground pit that they put the lamb in and cook it. I may try to sell them but if not, I will try to put as many in the freezer as possible. It's cheaper for me to take to the butcher. I never pay more than $50.00 to have a ram processed and I have anywhere from 45 lbs - 100 lbs of lamb meat that can last me up to 1 year depending upon how much I have. To be honest, I lose out when I sell the lamb because it's worth more to me (money wise) in the freezer as meat. I also have people who know me that I know I have lamb meat stop buy to buy certain cuts and I charge them market price.

The last price I got on lamb (today's price when I called around this morning) is below:
$22.99 a lb for lamb ribs
$15.99 a lb for lamb chops
$ 8.99 a lb for leg of lamb
$ 7.99 a lb for breast of lamb
$ 7.99 a lb for lamb shoulder

:D So to sell a lamb for $100.00 (which some people think is too high and want me to GIVE it to them for $50.00 :lau and I could have over $1,000.00 worth of lamb (depending on the size and cuts) in my freezer is a loss.

I have 2 more mamas that will be dropping any day. I guess the guys spent every few nights with a different woman. :gig

Now that I'm looking at these prices, I think these babies will go in the freezer. :drool

I haven't been able to get an answer as to what hatchery they are using yet. I keep getting blank stares from them. My TSC is in a change of management right now from a piss poor manager to a cashier that doesn't know the job yet. I would love to have a necropsy done so I could know if they pose a risk to my regular flock but haven't been able to find where to get one done yet. If it is something that passes threw the egg then they are useless to me for breeding stock but I could keep them across the pasture from my regular flock for eggs. If it is something that can transfer further then the pen they are in I may have to cull if there isn't a way to treat them. So far I have no plans to mix them with my layer flock for fear that something will happen to my big girls.

What an ordeal!  I wonder if LSU ag people could help with finding someone to do the necropsy.
