Some of us were just built to be fertile and have babies!

All this talk about babies made me dream last night that I popped one out. A little girl, no less. Man, do we chat about a bunch of stuff or what???

I will know I am in trouble when I start dreaming I am hatching chicks from sitting on eggs though!

Easley/Greenville area.

I will check with DH in the morning see if he has any more black sex links for sale. That is all we have available now. Amy, Joy or someone may have something else.

You could also check the Facebook page for the Chicken Swap of SC or something like that.

The only hatching eggs I have available is the Frizzle and Sizzle eggs and one pen of Cochin that is just a color project right now. All my other eggs have waiting lists and I am selling as hard as I can go. I ship out about 5 boxes a week of hatching eggs and am amazed that here at Christmas people still have money to spend on hatching eggs. But hey, more power to them. I have to make a living somehow! LOL And if the birds will pay for their own food then I can work harder to produce better birds.

I saw on the FB SC Swap page that someone was selling out their POL Leghorns in Pickens. If I had the money right now I would buy all 18 of them as I think they only wanted $5 each for the pullets. What a deal!

We are talking about April for the swap but the Morganton show is possibly going to be moved to April instead of Feb. since the winter weather gives them such fits about setting up. There was only one Sat. left in April for the swap so it may move to May. we haven't decided a definite date yet and are waiting on more set show schedules to know.

And bear with me, folks! I am still trying to catch up! You all chat a lot and I got behind by a bunch of pages! I used to say you missed a day you missed a lot but now it is miss a few hours and you miss a lot!

And I thought I was the chatty one!

Serama roosters are so cool. I used to go over to Luann's house in Greer and her little fellas would be all over her yard strutting their stuff for the girls, who usually had chicks under them.
I just can't let my d'Uccles out to free range knowing a hawk would make short work of them so mine are penned but it would be great to see them out loose. Poor Jolie can't guard the whole farm at once though.

Humm, my DH just told me than we should send them ours!

I have been thinking there may be a blackmarket (no pun intended) for dressed out silkie birds around here ( the Fugi folks?!?)

If you want to sell them for meat birds then you need to advertise them as BLACK SKINNED, dark meat birds. The Asian people seem to love them. I have Asian egg customers that ask me to raise the silkies for them but I won't do it. They don't recognize them when called silkies. But in China the silkie is a delicacy. There is market for them, also for black chickens in general for some reason. You need to word your ad differently so they know what you're selling.

My white leghorns are laying. I'd be glad to do you a mixed dozen. What I have laying now is leghorns, marans and orpingtons. I'm in Duncan (Spartanburg county).

Hey how do you get added to that group? It says it's a closed group.
