I had a local farmer that I spoke with, Friday, bring up something, that really hadn't crossed my mind, previously. Had I still been in California, where everyone is SO litigious, and everything is so highly regulated, it probably would have been in the forefront of my mind. But, here in Oklahoma, honestly, I hadn't thought of it, until she brought it up.
Selling eggs for eating purposes. What happens if someone gets sick, and sues? For the little bit of money one can pocket, for selling eating eggs, is it even worth it, to sell eggs?
I was starting to do so, then found a local lady with a few HUGE cabinet incubators, and very few chickens. She doesn't want to part with the incubators and hatchers, so, we worked a deal, where I bring her all of the eggs that we don't eat ourselves, she'll hatch them out, we split the hatch, and sell the chicks. At worst, we wind up with more chickens than we need, and eat more chicken dinners.
So, I've really found my own solution to the problem that this lady presented to me, but, it did get me to thinking. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever heard of any scenarios, like she described, where someone got sick, and sued the seller of eggs? With the mindset of Oklahomans, would that even be an issue? Most Okie's I know, are pretty self-sufficient folks, and have no inclination to get rich, in the 21st century manner, via lawsuit. Though, I'm sure they are out there.

Morning my Okie friends. We are finally getting a beautiful sunny day! First in a week! Went to an auction yesterday. Had a great time. Took the hens I got free on Craigslist, they brought $14 dollars each. Also took the little roo that went with my bantam hens and bought a replacement for him. I like the replacement much better. Also got a new start in guinea pigs. Two males and four females. I love raising them in the summer because they are easy to care for,just need a pen on the grass to graze on.i have been successful so far not buying any chicks but my will is weakling! It's a ritual of life to have spring chicks isn't t it! Lol have a great day in Oklahoma and count your blessings for being there!

Went tothe Blanchard Auction yesterday. We got to come home with a Blue Americauna hen and a Cuckoo Maran hen. That brings us up to 9 girls. The wifey is so happy with her new girls. She has named two of the three girls we have gotten in the last two weekends. Waiting on I ur daughter to name the last. The Brahma we got is River and the Americauna is Clara. Yay more eggs!

I try and stay away from TSC and Atwoods as best as possible. I wwnt to leave there with chicks. That is why I get my feed at a feed store. No temptation there.

Beautiful day today.

Anyone interested in Cochin chicks? Send a PM to csokiechick because she and her parents have been hatching LF Cochins. The have about 30 chicks. Some are 5 weeks old and some are a week old. The chicks are hatched from eggs from the Black hens they purchased from Bo Garrett and a cock bird from my Big Blue Cock and a Blue hen. The chicks will be Black and Blue. She also has some Delaware Bantam and some OEGB chicks in those same ages.

Ill go pull some photos they posted on Facebook.

Thanks to Jeansrie, our lonely silkie babe now has 4 new buddies! They were so beautiful, I couldn't resist buying four rather than the 1 or 2 I intended. Needed some other blood lines in my flock anyway! The babe was at first afraid of them, having been by itself the 10 days of its life, but pretty quickly made up with them.

I'm sure glad I could help you out, it was nice talking to you again! Keep in touch and let me know how you like the babies as they grow!

I was dreading my birthday this month. Drum Roll Please . . . . . . . . My husband is taking me to Pinot's Palette to paint, wait for it.... A Rooster!



He's never expressed any interest in painting. This is going to be a birthday celebration to remember : ) We'll have two paintings to remind us of our easel time together.
