OMG!!! Why are sebastopols so expensive??

[shelleyd2008]

I had seen pics of eggchel's sebies, and decided that I have to have some. Well after searching breeders and hatcheries, I'm thinkin I don't need them as bad as I thought! Almost all of them were $50 each, with the exception of 1 that was $35, but you had to order 4 or 6 of them! Why are these birds so expensive?? And I thought turkeys were bad!

Because they are rare, hard to hatch and one of the best things since the invention of sliced bread.....

They are rare, extremely hard to hatch and are some scrumptuous eye candy.

Jean - my sebbie I hatched from your eggs is turning into a lovely boy!

I am happy your boy is filling out nicely.

I have 14 of them right now and have to move 6 before winter sets in. I just have to find time and a dry day to sex them.

And did I mention I just love my baby sebbies!!!!

Sebbies are on my list for next year.

Do they hatch their own young, or do most people just incubate them?

Not rich. Just a day dreamer

I need females, jean.

As soon as you get good eggs this coming late winter I would love to set another batch.

If they lay early I will let you know. You'll have to remind me which egg hatched, was it the big one or the little one. That way I can send you eggs from an unrelated pair.
