SELLING OUT OF MY BIRDS...please read

[SamG347]

I have decided that I do not have enough time or money to keep as many birds as I'am. I'm selling most of my chickens and ALL of the quail. I'm just to busy with everything else in my life and FEED prices just keep going up. Soon I will be driving and need gas money..etc. So I have decide to rehome most of my birds. I will miss having them and miss working with the quail but for my birds best interest I have decided I need to part with them. I will still be keeping 10 laying hens though.
Thanks everyone for being there through my whole poultry expirence.....and please check the SELLING FORUMS for my chickens and quail.
Thanks!

P.S. IM NOT LEAVING LOL...just downsizing!

What a tough decision that had to be for you. I don't blame you. The feed prices are just crazy and I don't think there is any relief in site. Hopefully who every buys them keeps you posted on how your sweet birds are doing.

I'm sorry to hear you have to do this but sometimes the decisions we have to make are painful ones. Luckily around here feed is still very affordable and the lady hens are pretty much paying for the feed for everyone with their eggs for now. I'm sure your birds will find loving families who can keep you updated on them.

Sam,
I'm sure it's a tough choice. Feed prices really are getting out of control.

ahhh Sam

Feed prices are the same over here, becoming more and more expensive, so I fully understand your decision.......it must have been a tough choice to make, I would loathe to make that one though.

Best wishes Linda

I'm sorry. At least you realized you need to cut back instead of trying to keep them like some people would have.
Good luck re-homing them.

Thanks all....I'm happy though because I'm still keeping some layers. If I was getting rid of all the birds I would probably be devestated.

I'm glad to hear that your at least going to be able to keep 10 of them. I know that is a tough decision for you to make, but I must say it is a very mature one. It takes someone mature enough to realize that it is time to let go of something so wonderful for time and cost reasons. My hats off to you Sam!

I've felt that way about my goat herd. I've already downsized some but I see the need to continue too. I have had such a time about it. I just can't seem to see me being able to feed them all through the winter with the way prices are now. So I understand what you mean.
