Is this to me?

Three of four eggs developed and two hatched. They are eight weeks old now and I'm quite certain they are both boys

, Amos and Andy (can you tell I'm old?)

I'll post a picture update of them. They are still living in the house in a large finch flight cage, I was afraid to put them outside

too many predators living out there!

Someone on Rare Breed Auctions paid GFF $3700.00 + for a pair, couldn't get response to requests for shipping date, weren't home to pick them up when they did ship, and one died, according to the negative feedback.

Quote: That's awful. Although, if I were to ever pay that much for a pair of chickens I think I would pick them up in person, and avoid shipping altogether.

Yipes, that sounds criminal! Not just the price but the horrendous treatment they endured! What breed were they, again?

Yes, to you! I am glad you got two boys, they must be a great barnyard addition! Any chance you could get hens?

Ooooooo...okay, that makes more sense now. Man, those guys are gorgeous. Still horrific in the way the seller handled the transaction though. :/ IMO they should feel obligated to replace the lost bird.

That's insane, I would never pay something like that. And I have heard of lots of problems with GFF. I wouldn't have these at all if it weren't for having a good friend.....

Now, I will admit when I was in the frog hobby, I once paid $1,600 for a pair of one inch frogs. I called them Mr. Howell and Lovey. I actually had several species that were several hundred dollars per frog. But for the most part fairly easy to breed and sell to other hobbyist.

But $1,000's for a chicken? Nope. My chickens pretty much have to live outside in a pen, surrounded by marauding raccoons, skunks & opossum. My frogs lived indoors in a climate controlled room. A whole different set of circustances.

Actually some laughing chickens seem to be great, change in rooster song.

I cannot afford either of them, but enjoy dreaming!

Please, keep us posted
