How do you advertise? Right now I only have 4 layers but once my new ones start laying I will have some eggs to sell. How much do you charge for a dozen?A woman pulls up, and wanted eggs. I just sold 6 dozen yesterday and six last week. She bought my last 2, and I went in the house to wash up another dozen. If I didn't keep the oldest eggs for myself (I have never had a "just laid" egg) I would have sold those too!She will be back Saturday. She will buy three (or more) dozen if I have them.
My slackers had better get laying! Only 8/18 eggs yesterday. Okay, one is broody. So 1/2 laid.
For all the times I had too many eggs, now I need more!
She is working on her DH, trying to get her own chickens. I am working on HER trying to convince her that chickens are a better idea than she thought.
Smack him! NO HANDS IN THE BATOR DURING HATCH!!!
now I know most of the young crowd on here will not get this but i am crossing my fingers that today's pain is just from the weather and not a flare up...it has been a long time since I had to get the cane out of the closet just to get around...was gonna try to get to the dragon and pick up a few bunnies, doubt that is gonna though.....
Blarney ...DO NOT FORGET TO POST PICS OF THOSE BABY GOATS WHEN THEY ARE DELIVERED ON YOUR DECK.
Silkie, I ended up with 2 runner ducks and 10 pekin.....would of been alot more if big brother would of kept his hands out of the bator...,
So nervous. I should have babies very soon. Like in the next 2 days .
Ok, here is my phone vomit post!!! ha ha!! Also Warning, Last image is a close up of my girl cream cycles Vent, with what I think is the starting off Gleet. Feedback welcome on what you think it may be!!
Ok! Here is the run! I found this fencing, The gate is AMAZING! All for FREE on CL!! I only had to buy a few poles, since the guy ended up bending most when he removed the fence from is property.
This is the front of the barn (20ftx20ft) they also have a 1/4 of the inside of the barn for there coop area:
back of the barn, so it wraps around the 1 side and back, Nice size I think!
Here are my Doves I picked up from the Green Dragon Auction! They coo late night and early morning! I hope that means they are happy!
Here is Cream Cycle, She holds her leg up, I think she hurt it going in and out of the run, then the other girls where trying to kill her, So she is safe in the house, all bathed and cleaned up.. Hopefully she gets better soon
After I bathed her, I noticed Flees/Mites on her, I checked her Vent area again to make sure I got rid of all the critters. And notice she was VERY Red in that area and that Yellow Crystaly stuff all around the roots of her feathers, and the big clump there at her Vent, Which she has been treated for, I noticed the big clump was gone last night, I left her be and will check again to night and possibly apply more cream to the area till it is all gone! She is eating and drinking, no egg laying.. I'm sure from the stress of being in the house, her fellow ladies trying to kill her, And all my poking and prodding!! Poor girl!
I think that is all I have with my chickens.. They sure have been keeping me busy!!
I started with a skirt this morning...yeah, that changed after the dog had to go out!
Bundled up trying to stay warm!where in the heck is everyone????...well, ok...night all, have a good one! Night
Quote: Wal Mart has blank signs with small metal posts in the package. The sign just says, "fresh eggs" in the sticker letters. I think they are 4 inches tall. I charge $2/dozen, but I give eggs away to most first time customers only wanting one dozen. And the other day I gave the first woman (another came soon after I was bought out) 3 dozen for $5. I don't put the price on the sign because my cost has already changed once due to feed costs going up.
Sit on your hands!!! And good luck! Is it your first hatch? Have you read up on assisted hatches (Sally's signature)?
So nervous. I should have babies very soon. Like in the next 2 days .
