Which auctions only accept cash? Like just Cement, or is Blanchard cash only? I wondered about that a bit ago, since I never carry cash.

Blanchard will take check or cash.

They're kinda like "pet" fish. Neat to look at, but pretty much useless.

Some folks will add them to large fly pens or aviaries to clean up leftover feed/seeds.

Even though it works well in the airconditioning trade a little know fact is that Duct Tape was devoloped specially for the control of unruly children.

Evening everyone,

We made a run to the dump with concrete, the line to get into the place was long and we sat idling for about 20 min then it took us 30 min for Jason and I to unload the concrete but we made and I am happy! Just means a few less "white trash" look in my yard.. ha ha ha and look I was whining for nothing... tee hee... unless of course Jason heard me cry earlier from afar and decided to come home and save me from this swamp work.. ha ha ha

Ok here is what you do. According to industry standards a brown egg layer will consume 4oz of feed daily.

take 50 x 16 to get how many ounces in a bag of feed. 40 if bought at Atwoods.

there are 800 ounces in a 50lb bag of feed.

I am going to use 10 dollars for the price of the feed, anyway you divide 10 by 800 which comes to .0125 which is what the feed costs per ounce.

Next take .0125 x 4 because the hen will eat about 4 oz. which is .05 or a nickle and if she lays daily that is what the egg will cost in feed.

Now I did say cost in feed, you still have water, equipment and labor to consider so 2.50 may be a good break-even for the small breeder. The big guys are automated so even though their equipment costs are higher their input costs for labor are much, much less and the equipment is figured for the life of the equipment.

Of course if you have larger than standard fowl, such as Malay, Saipan, Brazilian, etc... multiply that food consumption by 10.

Wow! didn't get on this morning and had three pages! Whew! ok, here is a question- i have the 2 brahma roos, both wonderful guys- but CT, he i guess is 2nd roo decided it was time to declare himself and barny just stood there like 'huh?' but one of the hens went over and laid into pecking his head till CT left lilly alone- then goes chasing some pullets that haven't laid eggs yet- will the alpha roo 'read him from the book?' and put him in his place? they were raised together and there has been no sign of trouble with them...
