i really want some exchequer leghorns. but i think I'm over doing it. in a few days 30 something eggs are going to hatch, I have no idea what I'm going to do with all of them. still want those leghorns though

Congrats!! Maybe if my hatch is a total bust I will buy or trade some off you! I really want those Exchequers too!!!


@dutchbunny83 I got eggs from Creek Country Farms in KY (wanted to buy as close as possible). I wasn't thoroughly impressed with what they sent (3 lightly dirty eggs, box was ONLY marked fragile, eggs were facing every which way in shredded newspaper and bubble wrap and they didn't send any extras) however, none were broken and the air cells are okay. Tiny bit damaged but not bad. Every single egg is porous though. I am confident that I'll get 2 or 3 to hatch but probably be lucky for anything more with the condition of the eggs. Oh! They are all very fresh at least! Probably collected 1-2 days before they were sent.
I went ahead and ordered 2 girl chicks from MPC though... Because I was really scared that nothing will hatch

Hey Y'all, we are in Raeford. Raised chickens in the distant past and looking to start again. Does anyone have any experience with Fayetteville Poultry? Am hoping to pick up some this weekend if all goes well.

Our family is on a few acres and already have a decent set-up for some layers as well as meat birds.

Thanks,
Kent

I am not picky, only preference is brown eggs, lol.

If I go through Fayetteville Poultry I suppose it will depend on what they have.

What is Fayetteville poultry?? If you check Craig's list there are local flock swaps. There's one called the Creek Creek (East Fayetteville) flock swap that tends to have a lot of birds and is next weekend (March 1). It's held the first Saturday of each month.

Fayetteville Poultry is a local business out by the Cumberland CO Mulch place near Owens.

We have attended one Flock Swap already but were not ready to purchase. But that is a good option, thanks!

Does anyone know of a flock swap in the Asheville area?

 

[ramirezframing]

Never heard of them, do they sell what people sell to them, kinda like Family Fram Feed store? Or do they sell chicks that they get from a hatchery?

They are the hatchery. They have a pretty good variety and their website is pretty good too. I always like it when prices are posted, lol.

They have a calendar of what is available when and a page covering the various breeds they carry.
