y'know, sometimes I think that autosexing/sex-link is the only way that you will be able to avoid 'surprise roosters'. LOL  

LOL your right about that one.

Thanks Ant. I appreciate it.

I'm considering getting on the wait list for an order of broiler strain Naked Necks from S&G Poultry in Alabama - they are supposed to have particularly large and early/fast growing NNs and I'd like some for my breeding projects. Unfortunately the minimum order is 100 chicks, which is more than I can reasonably handle and raise. I have quite a few folks who would be interested in sharing an order, but they are all out of state, mostly in California. 

Would anyone in reasonable (or unreasonable, I suppose) driving distance of the San Antonio area be interested in sharing in an order when they are back in stock?

How do you share an Order?

Simplest way would be if I ordered 100, and one or more folks then took some of the chicks for themselves for cost...

I have ordered from Ideal. They are great. They do mention shipping extras for warmth (aka 'packing peanuts') so make sure you meet the minimum or you will end up with a lot of roosters. I ended up with 17 once

I have ordered from Ideal, very disappointed! I ordered 5 ducks, out of the five NONE were like I asked for!

Good luck, I hope you have better luck with them than I did!

Me too! We had driven over an hour to get these little guys, at least they got the sex right! They are all hens.

Did you try to ask for new / correct ones?
They (who ever I deal with through email) have always been so nice and helpful to me.

Downsizing:
I am going in reverse Chicken Math:

My wife is going to work, and I am retiring very soon due to the ravages of Muscular Dystrophy. So, I am putting it out there to the Texas Community that is in the commuting area first.

I am selling off the entirety of my Chocolate Orpingtons for 25.00 each and the rooster is included so you can have an instant flock.

I am selling off half of my Black Copper Marans for the same price and that includes my secondary rooster (I have two).

I am also selling off the majority of my eating egg hens for the same price point.

I am leaving enough behind that I can have my own eating eggs and incubate my own birds for meat.

Maybe someday I will be back in the Chicken business. However, I need to make the job we have here as manageable as possible for the kids in school and a wife that will be working.

So, a lot EE laying hens, All the Chocolate Opringtons, and half my Black Copper Marans are priced to go.

So sorry to hear you are having to down size

I am interested in the chocolates but can't make a trip that way until end of August. Keep me posted on how your sales go and if anything is left. Prayers for your health and that you can return to the Chicken business someday soon.

I may be interested in some. Can you pm me what EE you have? Are you keeping your adult blues?
