Morning

tranquil looking , gonna go at dusk so my wife will go. First going get a couple bales of straw

Prices are a wee bit above my pay grade. I am looking for some fresh blood to test mate with my birds. Several such tests to be made. Birds used for testing simply need to provide alleles we lack. No intention of replacing mine by linebreeding an outside strain or setting up a new line not based on my genetics. Resources too tight.

Ok just thought u may be interested. If u are/am/were looking for a specific breed/line/type at least u know u getting what u are told or at least better odds than craigslist not saying there are no good blood on craigslist. That's the problem going outside of your circle for birds

Be assured, my expectations for Craigslist games is very low.

I've seen these adds before and wondered if they are for real? Do they actually sell birds at that price, or is it for show? It makes me wonder. Maybe we should take out an add and price our birds at $5,000.00 ea.

Yes its very real and I'll leave it at that

I think they are for real. We used to sell battle cocks for $50 to $150 each once they were tamed to handling. Most of the time they were sold in groups of five to six. This was more than 30 years ago so taking into account inflation all seems in line. Ours were sold for what is now illegal purposes. We never sold hens to my knowledge although brood fowl where traded with friends. If brood fowl were to have been sold then price would be higher as they would be close four years old or more.
