NY chicken lover!!!!

It's "Mottled" Amer eggs for sale.  To expensive for me but wondered if anyone is interested in going in on some with me?  See the shipping will be the same even if I  order six.  

The eggs are $6 each.  

I ordered a bunch of am chicks from showbirds on the buy/sell thread. Waiting for the weather to break to ship. I have lav, splash, and a few blacks coming. I ordered way to many if I get the pullet/roo ratio I got from Nava. I should have an idea by chickenstock. If you are interested.

Gramma Chick - I have 1 Dominique. She's a consistent layer of small/med. eggs but not prolific. Very friendly, I don't know if it was just the batch I got but 2 out of the 3 died,

Lynzi777 - they are gorgeous - especially the duckling! Makes me want to get ducks..........

First batch is in. We'll see how it does. It seems to hold the temp ad humidity good and recovers fairly quick when opening the top.

I was asking Cass ...I got my Americanas from her ...they look just like her blue hens I think .
I need to get a closer picture of them

I don't recall. The lavs should be. The blacks? Who knows. 3/4 of my flock is black including ALL my roosters. My head roo is 100% Amerucana (from Pips and Peeps line). At the time I hatched your birds I also had a Lav roo from Chicken stalker named Randy. He earned that name. LOL. But the black ones....might have some Sumantra in them....like I said, ALL my roosters were black at the time.

Pure Amerucanas have puffy cheeks and slate legs. So take a look at them to see if they are or aren't pure bred. However, Rancher just wanted some to add to his EE Flock, so yours should do him just fine. (Mine would still be a crap shoot, cuz of how many roosters I have out there. All black. All sexually active)

Welp, I have 6 white La Bresse eggs coming. I have a Hovabator to fill up!! thats a start. Anyone have turkey eggs? or Delawares, Orpingtons, Rosecomb RIR, Barred rocks? oh my list goes on and on I'm in trouble.

And THAT is exactly why I will not, can not EVER have an incubator. I just don't have enough land for all the breeds and birds I would hatch.

LOL yes see what having a little room does to person!

I'm going poultry crazy. But I do have a good plan!

I did just catch myself almost bidding on eggs from mahogany RIR with curled toes, jesus mary and joseph!

prob not a huge deal but I want to start with some decent stock.

Morning all. My pathways of doom are extra icy this morning. Dh was kind enough to let everyone out this morning. Good thing I checked my phone calendar as I forgot I was working today! That would have been a big oops! Legolas has his girls out and about this morning, which is good. Have to check their coop for eggs as I heard the girls singing this morning.

Jwebb---do your research before buying. I have been fooled twice and ended up with not the right stock. Look up reputable breeders and invest carefully. It took me a while to find good stock and I am glad that I invested in good lines. Made a mistake with my rir I have now but I have finally found a reputable breeder and cant wait for my eggs to get here.

Time to get rolling. Have a good day everyone!

Almost forgot---who on here had plum trees? My soil is acidic and clay. How would they do?

I know we all thought this subject was dead but I wanted to share this anyhow. It's from House Calls in the local paper a column written by Edith Lank.

My house might be going into foreclosure next month if I can't get a loan modification. The bank is going to auction it off. I'm not sure how that works. Am I still responsible for the difference owed?

Yes,, forclosed properties are sold at public auction. If the sale price doesn't cover the debt, the lender may or may not go after you seeking a deficiency judgement. Unfortunately, there's no way I can predict the result. But if they don't, here's something else to worry about. The IRS considers that if you borrow money and are excused from paying it back, you've had a taxable income. When the housing crisis got bad , Congress stepped in, so that forgiven debt on a residential mortgage was NOT taxed. This provision expired at the end of 2013, and Congress has not yet acted on a resolution to extend it through 2016.

I'm sure a non-profit agency around you may have useful advice. You can search for a local agency at the website of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, nfcc.org. Look for a HUDD-approved counselor, even if yours is not an FHA mortgage. - Edith Lank

Me again. Certainly having a foreclosure is not the worst thing in the world and you can survive it. BUT at least know what's what if it happens. This is why I suggested getting advice and talking to your lender.

Peace out. (whatever that means)

Thank you Pharm, I have been real picky with my eggs so far. Saw these on ebayfromhell and clicked bid before I really looked at the birds...cancelled that bid in a hot second lol....
the zoom in pics said it all smh "If it looks too good to be true it probably is" and you know? I prob could have bred a few gens and fixed some things but I don't wanna start out that way from not paying attention! I'm happy to pay more and just get some really good stock. phew.
