Are there breeders close by that you can get eggs from?

I will search in spring time for egg sellers close to me

Hiya all how's everyone's eggs doing mine are totally rubbish I may have 1 that makes it to lock down if I'm lucky

Sorry

So, Catdance told me $65 for 18 eggs shipped. Not sure if I want to spend that much for a couple of pets for my daughter. Then what if most of them hatched?!? What am I going to do with all those chicks? What, what am I going to do with all the possible chicks in the incubator now?!?

:/ wowza sorry to hear that...can you please tell me how can i tell what duds look like. i think i have one but i don't know for sure to be honest.

I don't know whether to console you or cheer for you?????

Chicks in the tub all winter is not THAT bad is it????

The naked necks are called Showgirls if they are the silky feathered ones. I don't believe Karen (CatDance) has any of those. Are you wanting some? That same lady that I posted a link for above sells eggs from them if you do.

HAHA well i dont look forward to it since the bathroom is next to my bedroom .i like them out as soon as possible but 30 or 20 degrees ...idont know.even with a heat lamp not sure a bout that..When i think about it i wonder what the heck was i thinking? Oh well.

No read your post about Cat dance & heard it before ... just a unique name .
Are they silkies but bred by Catdance?
Yes showgirls! Right! . Those 2 names almost make you want to get them to see what they turn out like!! LOL Sound so exotic!!

 

[Roxannemc]

They are sooooooo beautiful!!!!

Isn't it amazing how they change so much week to week? She does have a girly beak! I am sure one of mine is a boy. He weighs about three times as much as the others. Do you have a favorite?

Gosh those are pretty... Pretty faces too.! Are those silkies ? Who did you buy them from? ARe these your Cat dance you mentioned?(questions questions)

Have you checked Craigslist? Here is a list for the Tacoma/Seattle area. I don't know where you are but that is your county.

There are some pretty cute ones there on the list. Even a cheap incubator!
